# Amit Malviya accuses tech platforms of hiding behind algorithms 2026-08-13T19:59:44+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya has accused social media platforms of using their algorithms to hide bias from users. In an interview with NDTV, he said: "If you write a certain code which is not transparent and users cannot see it, then clearly you can hide behind algorithms." The remark comes amid an ongoing tussle between the ruling party and tech firms over content moderation and algorithmic transparency. Malviya did not name specific platforms but argued that opaque code allows companies to shape public opinion without accountability. The government has previously pushed for greater scrutiny of social media algorithms under the IT rules. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: Amit Malviya, BJP, content moderation, digital transparency, social media algorithms, tech platforms Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/amit-malviya-accuses-tech-platforms-of-hiding-behind-algorithms/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
