BJP MP Surya explains why control over social media is needed?

India TV News  

Amid the row over banning many social accounts for not following the government's guidelines after they were found instigating the peasants' movement, the Bharatiya Janata Party has raised the demand to control social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Following the latest episode, his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 3 last year made headlines, stating that uncontrolled social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter were a big threat to democracy, and the need to enact strict new rules for regulation. In such a situation, there is a need to create new rules and regulations for these social media platforms by reviewing the old IT-related rules. The MP has demanded the removal of old guidelines and the release of new ones in view of several recent controversies related to the social media platforms.
