Friday, 15 July 2011, 23:24 IST
NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday made it clear that social networking sites must comply with the security agencies' requirement for a real-time monitoring of their user data to ensure that national security is not compromised.
In the backdrop of a raging controversy over BlackBerry posing security concerns, security agencies have asked the Telecom Ministry to provide real-time monitoring of various social networking sites like Facebook, Google, Skype and Twitter, among others, Minister of State for Telecom and IT Sachin Pilot said.
"We cant afford to take chances with national security," Pilot said on the sidelines of an international conference organised by the US-based IT giant AMD, the world's second largest chip maker.
