Delhi riots: Delhi Assembly committee issues notice to Facebook

The Delhi Legislative Assembly’s Committee on Peace and Harmony has issued a notice to Facebook India to appear before it on November 2. The committee is examining the “unprecedented communal disharmony and violence in Delhi in February 2020”.

“In continuation of previous proceedings, the Delhi Legislative Assembly’s Committee on Peace and Harmony has decided to call upon representatives of Facebook India to depose its view on the important role of social media in curbing the spread of false, provocative and malicious messages which can fan violence and disharmony,” the government said in a statement.
