Supportive of social media but won't allow data abuse: Govt
The government will not allow "fly-by-night" data mining firms to improperly harvest social media data of Indian citizens, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said. He added, "I am all for campaigning on social media...but you cannot play with (user) consent." He said India had sent a firm message to data companies that they "cannot take the country lightly."
