Government Advises Meta to Review Algorithms to Prevent Limited Narratives Exposure
The Indian government, through the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), has advised Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, to review its recommendation algorithms to prevent disproportionate exposure to limited narratives. The advisory, dated October 10, urges Meta to provide adequate context for content related to ongoing public events, especially where authenticity or circumstances may be unclear. This follows protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over electoral roll revisions. The government seeks stronger mechanisms to curb misleading, manipulated, or out-of-context content that could incite violence or public disorder.
