– Parliamentary panel summons top bosses of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram –
Last week, the same panel had kicked up a storm after it sent out a similar summons to micro-blogging platform Twitter. Refusing to meet any local representative, the panel asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to show up or send a senior global executive from the San Francisco-based social networking firm.
While questions were being raised over why Twitter was being singled out, the committee had recently said that it would call the other social media companies too for questioning.
In a notification, the Committee has said the agenda of the March 6 meeting will be “to hear the views of the representatives of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram on the subject of ‘’safeguarding citizens’ rights on social/online news media platforms”.
