India's Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology has summoned representatives from Meta, Google, X, and Snapchat for August 3, 2026 to discuss user privacy protection, public order maintenance, and digital platform regulation following extensive social media use in recent student protests.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
India's parliament is moving from complaints to enforcement on social media. If you operate a platform, monetisation engine or data product in India, you now have a statutory deadline to demonstrate privacy controls for women, children and rural users - and the government has linked this directly to protest coordination.
