Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is slated to appear before the Parliamentary panel on Information Technology on February 25 to “examine” the issue of citizens’ rights on “social or online media”. Karishma Mehrotra joins us to explain the chain of events that led to the summons, what Twitter’s response has been and whether other social media platforms will be affected. Next, Rahul Tripathi explains why India’s sedition law has been criticised in the past and why the Government is not likely to dilute or scrap it. Last, we discuss why an FIR has been ordered on Arnab Goswami.
