IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad Monday sent a strong message to social media firms asking them to maintain constitutional sanctity and remain vigilant against any misuse of their platforms for acts of terrorism and communalism.
The minister, soon after assuming the charge of IT Ministry, said the data protection bill will be high on priority but did not specify whether it will be taken up in the upcoming Parliament session.
The first session of the newly-elected Lok Sabha has been convened from June 17 to July 26.
