Companies like Nestle still continue to shock the consumers by involving in scams and thus need strict regulations to monitor them and to ensure the rights of consumers and workers associated with the companies. Though the stand of various companies regarding CSR has improved in the past few years, there is still a long way to go. In the present situation of pandemic, migrant workers have suffered the most. They have lost their jobs and homes and thus they need the most support right now. 

Today the companies are experimenting with their advertisements. Some are focused on their social appeal and some focus on their charity as a basis to attract customers, like Classmate registers and Nihar shanti oil which claim to give one rupee as donation for every product they sell.

It allows up to 10 days leave a year and applies to transgender employees.

This should be appreciated and encouraged, so that other business organizations are motivated to provide for such leaves.

It should be the responsibility of these companies to regulate this content as it spreads hatred and is capable of tarnishing the image and mental health of individuals. It has now endangered the security of the country. Indian government has even sent a notice to Facebook following reports of data sharing with device makers, without the explicit content of the users. Applications like PUBG and Tik Tok have brainwashed the minds of people, especially teenagers. These applications should have self regulatory measures.
