Around the world there has been a lag in making rules for big tech players, said MEIT Minister of State Rajeev Chandrasekhar, news agencies have reported. The government is systematically building a legal policy framework in this regard, he said.
The government is in the process of holding consultations to build laws, he said.
The minister was speaking at a forum hosted by FICCI recently.
According to Chandrasekhar, the internet has started to "represent risk, user harm and criminality".
