Parliament panel summons Meta, X over social media regulation after CJP protests
The panel will examine measures to protect women, children and citizens' data privacy, besides reviewing how social media platforms comply with government rules
The meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT, headed by BJP member Nishikant Dubey, was held days after the government summoned Meta’s global team for briefly restricting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook post
In an important meeting scheduled for this week, government officials will confront Meta executives regarding pressing issues. The discussions will center around the presence of child sexual abuse material, the rise of AI-created content, and the measures in place for takedowns involving notable personalities. Compliance with local laws and the efficiency of Meta's content moderation efforts, particularly in monitoring synthetic content, are also poised to be key topics of concern.
