Will cooperate with SC panel on Pegasus: Govt

New Delhi, November 11

The government will fully cooperate with the committee of experts set up by the Supreme Court to probe allegations of snooping using Pegasus software, IT and Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said.

He said the government would provide infrastructure, manpower, laboratory facilities and information needed by the panel to complete its probe. On social media regulations, he said while social media platforms had given people chance to express themselves freely, at the same time, misuse of technology had placed “a huge burden of thinking” on where should the regulation be. He said there had to be a balance between privacy and social responsibility. — TNS
