 "Isro warns against 'unauthentic' pages in social media")
The Indian Space Research Programme (Isro) today said that many fake social media profiles in the name of the Isro, the Department of Space and more so the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) have cropped up and it is initiating action against them.
In a statement Isro said, “it is observed that a number of pages in the social media (Facebook and Twitter) are floated in the name of Isro / Department of Space/ Mangalyaan, etc., which have no authenticity and Isro does not take any responsibility for any content hosted on these pages”
In a press released Isro listed few "unauthentic" pages:
www.facebook.com/isro.org
www.facebook.com/pages/ISRO-Indian-Space-Research-Orgaisation/123014641053950
https://twitter.com/Mangalyaan1

“Such impersonation of the organisation is construed to be a serious offence and stern legal actions against these pages/administrators of these pages are being initiated from Isro/Department of Space to bring them to immediate closure,” said the agency.
Isro started an official page on Facebook titled Isro's Mars Orbiter Mission (facebook.com/isromom) on October 22, 2013 to provide near real time authentic information about the Mars programme.
