No proposal to curb social media: Rajyavardhan Rathore
There is no proposal to control social media, the Union government told the Rajya Sabha on Monday when asked if it was planning to do so
New Delhi: There is no proposal to control social media, the Union government told the Rajya Sabha on Monday when asked if it was planning to do so.
In a written reply, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore said, "There is no proposal in the ministry to control social media.
"However, the ministry proposes to set up a social media hub to facilitate information flow regarding its policies and programmes through social media platforms ie, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube etc."
His response came to a question on whether the government was planning to control social media, as it was posing a serious threat to the society. "There is no proposal to invade an individual's right to privacy," Rathore said.
