Centre Orders Meta, X To Share Data On Flight Bombing Threats

The Indian government has ordered social media platforms Meta and X to share data on individuals behind recent bomb threats targeting Indian airlines. Over 150 flights operated by Indian airlines received bomb threats, leading to several diversions. The Centre’s directive aims to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of these hoax threats. The government has also sought assistance from other multinational technology companies to track down those responsible. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance aviation security and prevent disruptions caused by false threats. The authorities are working to ensure that such incidents do not compromise passenger safety and airline operations. The collaboration with social media platforms and tech companies is expected to expedite the investigation and bring the culprits to justice.
