MUMBAI, July 30 - India has summoned executives from U.S. tech giant Meta, a senior official said on Thursday, after its Facebook platform briefly restricted a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week.
• A video message by Modi posted on Meta's Instagram platform and later shared on Facebook was restricted temporarily on the latter.
• Meta India did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on Thursday.
• Modi's video post on July 23, his first addressing the massive student protests that forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign on Saturday, has more than 404 million views on Instagram.
