Member of Parliament for Noakhali-2, Zainul Abdin Faruk, has raised concerns over the uncontrolled spread of unverified content through YouTube and other online platforms. Speaking during the question-and-answer session of the national budget session on Sunday, he said that journalism cards are being distributed across almost all upazilas and even union levels, often to individuals without formal training or qualifications. He urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to investigate who is issuing these cards and to consider bringing such activities under a regulatory framework.
In response, State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasir Khan Chowdhury told Parliament that the ministry is already working on issues of misinformation and disinformation. He said that a special team has been formed to monitor such activities and to take legal action against those involved. The minister assured that the team’s scope and detailed operations will soon be officially announced.
Both lawmakers emphasized that unregulated media practices could harm public trust in journalism and hinder democratic and developmental progress.
