Arvind Kejriwal Alleges Meta Restricted His Social Media Accounts in India
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal alleged that Meta restricted his Instagram and Facebook accounts in India without providing reasons or guidance to remove the restrictions. He accused Meta of yielding to political pressure from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, urging the company not to "bow down" to the Prime Minister. Meta has not publicly responded to these claims. The issue follows Meta's recent apology to Indian authorities for briefly restricting a Modi video, highlighting ongoing tensions over content moderation in India.
