After PM Modi’s Facebook video was briefly removed, Meta told the IT Ministry it would introduce additional oversight and senior-level reviews for posts from prominent accounts.
Meta has informed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) that posts from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other high-profile Indian personalities will receive additional monitoring and senior-level reviews.
Meta blamed automated content filtersSources said Meta informed the government that an error in its automated content moderation system led to the temporary removal.
The incident raised questions over automated moderation systems and whether important public communication from political leaders requires additional safeguards.
However, the broader issue also raises questions about how platforms can balance content moderation, algorithmic decision-making and equal treatment of users.
