Senior journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakuta and Newsclick's Prabir Purkayastha talk about the recent reports on Facebook's actions and affiliations in India. They explain the response of Facebook to the reports of it failing to take action against BJP leaders accused of hate speech, the tendency of the platform to promote this kind of content, as well as whether any kind of regulation can limit the damage digital monopolies are doing to democracy.
