Facebook India head Ajit Mohan told a parliamentary panel on Wednesday that the social media giant had found no cause to act against the Bajrang Dal. Mohan was questioned by Congress MPs Shashi Tharoor and Karti Chidambaram in the context of a WSJ report that FB failed to act on hate content by the BJP-affiliated group to save its business. Mohan reportedly told the panel that Facebook's fact-checking team had not, so far, found any content, posted by the Bajrang Dal, that violated its social media policies. The WSJ report had referred to a video in which the Bajrang Dal claimed responsibility for an attack on a church outside Delhi.
