India Summons Meta Over PM Modi's Facebook Post; Meta Promises Enhanced Oversight
The Indian government summoned Meta's global public policy head after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post, featuring his first direct selfie video addressing youth and promising action against paper leaks, was briefly restricted. Meta attributed the removal to an AI glitch and apologized, but the government found this explanation inadequate and demanded further details. In response, Meta assured enhanced safeguards for posts by the Prime Minister and other prominent accounts, including multiple senior-level reviews and additional oversight. Meta is expected to meet government officials soon to discuss these measures and broader content moderation concerns.
