Digital content uploaded by citizens on social media websites, government websites, etc. include text, photos, documents, etc. Such content requires filtering before it can be stored in databases or published online for public viewing. This filtering includes scanning for inappropriate content like potentially communal or politically sensitive statements, pornography, etc.

MyGov proposes to integrate such tools managing the content on the platform. Suggestions are invited regarding the best currently available software that can be used by MyGov for rule based online content filtering. The suggestions should include complete name of the software, details of the software, vendor and the relative merits of the tool vis-à-vis other such tools. The inputs can be provided in text, .doc or .pdf format.

Sir, Govt can hire Comp experts. Make them search internet. Make list of explicit websites. Govt order ISP to ban the websites. Work is done. But today there are some Browsers (not all) which Encrypt the data in Client Comp, Send the query to their own Servers & return Pages of Websites in Encrypted only to the client comp. So ISP cannot block the websites for them. But for normal citizens blocking at ISP level will do the job. Thanks.

No tool is 100% perfect. Every tool will have some false positives/negatives. So I would suggest that apart from automated tools, we should also use user based filtering. basically for each content we display a "report" or "inappropriate" button. Other users when reading can mark a content as "inappropriate" by clicking on this button. If more than 1 users mark it as "inappropriate" we can temporarily hide it. An admin can then review it and take further action.

Software engineers can write programs which can be integrated into the web page to prevent the upload of spams. All uploads can be verified by 'captcha' to ensure that genuine posts are being made. A team of cryber moniters must be employed to run a 27/4 surveillance on the web page to ensure its safety. When it comes to pornography we can either manually filter it or develop a software which will work like a face/smile dectector but only that it will be used to detect nudity and sexuality
