Arvind Kejriwal Alleges Meta Restricted His Social Media Accounts in India
Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor, alleged that Meta restricted his Instagram and Facebook accounts in India without providing reasons or guidance to remove the restrictions. He criticized Meta's lack of response and accused the company of yielding to political pressure from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Meta has not publicly addressed these claims. The issue follows a recent controversy where Meta temporarily restricted a video by Modi, later apologizing for the error. Kejriwal's accounts have since been restored.
