Congress Clamours for Action Against Facebook India Executives

Demanding actions against Facebook's India team, the Congress on August 18 asked Mark Zuckerberg to investigate allegations that it has ignored hate speech policy in favour of the rulling BJP. The Congress, along with Communist Party of India, also called for joint parliamentary committee (JPC) inquiry. Moreover, the CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury demanded that, until the probe, Facebook should not be allowed to operate with any government institution.
