The Parliament passed the Telecommunications Bill, 2023, which seeks to amend the laws relating to telecommunication services and networks, earlier this week. The bill would allow for the government to temporarily take control of telecom services in the interest of national security. Several right groups and OTT players have expressed concerns over the bill. Facebook parent Meta is reportedly concerned that over the top (OTT) services would come under the ambit of the proposed legislation.
