Govt Summons FB, Twitter Officials Over Social Media Platform Misuse

To counter social media misuse, Facebook and Twitter have been summoned for questioning by the Parliamentary Committee on Information Technology. The representatives of the platforms have been asked to appear before the panel on January 21 and share their views on securing citizens' rights. Besides, security of women on the internet will also be emphasized. Earlier, Facebook India's former policy head Ankhi Das was also summoned in 2020 over alleged biasness towards the BJP.
