Make Big Tech accountable to communities and society: MoS Electronics & IT

Nations must cooperate to make firms like Facebook, Google answerable: Min

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and IT, said there is a need for countries to come together and collaborate to make big tech players such as Facebook and Google accountable.

“If we are to bring some sanity and some consistency in the way big tech platforms should be accountable to communities and the society at large, countries will have to come together and cooperate. Often, this attempt of regulation or even to create some sort of sanity, rules and accountability is spun as a challenge to free speech,” said Chand­rasekhar, while addressing the 30th Nasscom Technology & Leadership Forum
