Srinagar, August 3: Security agencies have highlighted a new tendency among some youths in the Kashmir Valley to use social media among some youth, which are not out of ideological punishment to glorify separatists and terrorist figures, but as a calculated strategy to acquire and earn money from advertisers.
The Srinagar police, which is making every effort to track social media sites to combat the radical process, discovered this modus operandi after some youths were detained behind such accounts.
During interrogation, the youth allegedly admitted that the employment of inflammatory imagination – such as the restricted Hezbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani – was a calculated plan to achieve a high and active fan base.
The cultivation of this engagement later enabled them to capitalize on their social media accounts by receiving payment from advertisers for endorsement.
Officials said that after receiving many followers, especially in the border and abroad, the account handler replaced these paintings with other images such as mountains or chinner trees.
Officials said the emerging tendency could be unstable as the online promotional environment within the region is staining the line between radical elements and opportunists, who are looking for online randown and money.
While the police is determined to take strict action against those who take advantage of sensitive security situations to intensify their surveillance and to understand about its implications on the future of their children.
Officials said seven children, who were recently detained by the police, were released after counseling in front of their parents.
Officials feel that the inspiration behind the rise of social media affected people using stimulating imagination in the Kashmir Valley is financially financially, and in the digital landscape, where mudlization material is the new goal, engagement and revenue discovery has given rise to a brown field.
Officials said that most of these affected social media are dependent on brand partnership on platforms, where they either promote products or integrate them into their content.
According to the two major affected people working on three social platforms, the revenue-sharing model remains opaque despite its blue-tick verification system.
An impressive, requesting oblivion, described the process as “vague”, given that the factors that determine the frequency and volume of the payment are a mystery.
Understanding the congestion of digital gold, how social media mudification works, the investigation in young Kashmiris using separatist imagination shows a deeper, more complex story about the modern digital economy.
Search for online celebrity is often associated with the purpose of mudification – a process that is sometimes easy or not necessarily guaranteed.
Mudraification on large platforms like Instagram, Facebook and YouTube is a combination of direct advertising income, membership and brand deals with its own rules and obstacles. Whereas another social media demands a professional account and should be 10,000 followers and a thousand minutes of content within 60 days.
Therefore, the strategy of using stimulating materials to promote follower count in Kashmir seems to be a direct result of this unstable digital economy. (PTI)
