BJP member Nishikant Dubey Wednesday demanded that regulations be brought in to keep a check on social media to ensure there is no intrusion of privacy. "Electronic and print media are regulated.

Similar regulations should be brought in for social media so that fake news spread through such medium does not intrude on the privacy of an individual," Dubey said in the Lok Sabha during Zero Hour. Speaker Om Birla said that it is a "very good topic" and if a member gives notice under Rule 193, the issue could be taken up for short duration discussion. Jayadev Galla (TDP) asked the government to take steps to ban the TikTok app saying it poses a serious threat.
