Empower Committee on Women asks MeitY to ensure safety on social media

The pressure on social media platforms to ensure online safety and security and maintain basic norms of decency is growing by the day.

The Empower Committee on Women (30 members of women MPs) has also joined the chorus demanding a safer online experience and has asked the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to ensure the same.

Recently, the Committee held a meeting with senior officials of MeitY in Hyderabad (February 21) in which it appraised them of issues being faced by women on social media and asked for mechanisms to curb such issues, sources close to the development told BusinessLine.
