DU Student Alleges Meta Restricted Four Instagram Videos on Protest Content
A Delhi University student, Sakshi, alleged that Meta restricted four of her Instagram videos related to the Cockroach Janta Party protest in India. Three videos were reportedly restricted for violating 'community guidelines,' and one post was removed for 'adult sexual exploitation and nudity.' The videos included content about police announcements, food deliveries to police after a lathi charge, and youth unemployment songs. Sakshi questioned the basis for these restrictions and noted that reports of hate posts against her received no action.
