The microblogging website Twitter has landed in an unwanted controversy after temporarily blocking the account of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in November last year.
Following this, it is said that the representatives of Twitter were grilled by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology during the recent meeting, reports claimed.
It is said that the panel has slammed the representatives of Twitter for temporarily blocking the account of Amit Shah and reportedly questioned them on how come they took the decision.
According to the information, Twitter's India and South Asia Public Policy Director Mahima Kaul and Facebook's Public Policy Director Shivnath Thukral appeared before the Standing Committee and faced a flood of questions.
The representatives also faced the wrath of the Parliamentary Standing Committee for the misrepresentation of the Indian map in 2020, which created quite a political stir.
However, the representatives of Twitter reportedly defended the action to temporarily block the account of Amit Shah and said the action is an 'inadvertent error' that comes under the copyright policies and said, the action was temporary and the account became functional normally later.
The panel of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology headed by the Congress MP Shashi Tharoor chaired the meeting to discuss safeguarding citizens' rights, preventing misuse of social news media platforms, and women security in the digital space.
