Meanwhile, sources told PTI that Meta informed the government that a glitch in its automated content filters caused PM Modi’s Facebook post removal for a brief while.
According to Meta, the content was removed “in error” and has since been restored on the platform.
Another source privy to the development said that the global head of public policy of Meta (Facebook and Instagram) has been summoned by the IT Ministry over the issue.
Supreme Court advocate and cyber expert Pavan Duggal says a clear message needs to go out now that social media platforms cannot take Indian laws lightly.
Meanwhile, a Parliamentary panel has summoned representatives of major social media platforms, including Instagram, along with officials of the ministries of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Home Affairs, August 3 to discuss regulation of social media and digital platforms.
