India weighs new regulator to oversee social media

A parliamentary panel has recommended treating Twitter, Facebook as publishers

The panel also intends to set up a regulatory body to oversee them

Recommendations were made after reviewing the personal data protection bill

It seeks to protect users' privacy and enforce controls on how online companies collect and store data

Current laws on social media as intermediaries are not sufficient

The current provisions in the personal data protection bill are too broad

The report's recommendations will be presented in the parliament on November 29
