Govt wants Facebook, Google to monitor offensive contents
Telegraph | Reuters | New Delhi, Dec 6:
India has asked operators of social media networks, including Facebook and Google , to screen user content and remove any offensive material, the information and telecom minister said on Tuesday. Kapil Sibal met executives of those companies along with Yahoo and Microsoft on Monday to ask them to implement a monitoring mechanism, but no solution was reached, he said.
Sibal said he asked the companies in September to remove images and statements offensive to religious groups but the companies had rebuffed his requests.
“We have to take care of the sensibilities of our people, we have to protect their sensibilities. Our cultural ethos is very important to us,” he said at a news conference.
