Facebook Replies to Congress; Says Company Denounces Hate

Facebook, in reply to the letters by Congress, stated, "We take seriously the concerns and recommendations you raised". Facebook's director of Public Policy Neil Potts said they are “non-partisan”, and that they "denounce hate and bigotry in all forms". However, Congress's request to set up a time-bound inquiry into Facebook India team remained unanswered. Earlier, Congress had raised questions over Facebook India's leadership team and accused them of favouring BJP.
