Facebook India head calls for global internet rules to increase trust in tech

Bengaluru: A national as well as global framework of internet rules is needed to increase trust in technology as the Covid-19 pandemic not only accelerates digitisation but also deepens the digital divide, said Facebook India head Ajit Mohan and Infosys co-founder S (Kris) Gopalakrishnan at Nasscom’s annual Technology and Leadership Forum on Friday.

Mohan said the framework must enable innovation, give users more control over their interaction while helping companies take tough calls on content. Gopalakrishnan said a national framework could formulate industry standards and set up sandboxes to test innovative ideas and their impact.
