Indian activists have petitioned a parliamentary panel to summon the heads of US tech firms including Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s Google and question them on issues ranging from tax compliance to data privacy.
The petition, sent by a group that previously dragged WhatsApp to court and a right-wing political activist, comes a day after the panel summoned Twitter chief Jack Dorsey to discuss ways to safeguard citizens’ rights on social media and online platforms.
