Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday asked the social media platforms to use technology to curb fake news, comply with Indian laws and warned that abuse of Indian users' data to influence elections will not be tolerated.

"India's elections are very transparent and sanctified. Any foreign entity like Facebook or Cambridge Analytica cannot abuse the data of Indians to influence the elections in India," the Minister for Law and Information Technology said in reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.
