Modi government’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has expressed his displeasure over the functioning of social media platforms Google and Facebook. He said that it will not be possible to keep posting anything on social media platforms. Addressing Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, the minister said that all social media companies will have to fulfill their responsibilities. They have to see what is being posted on their platform and what is not.
New law will come for social media
He made it clear that the lax attitude of social media companies will not work. What is being published on their platform will be their responsibility.
