Aug 5 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms' Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has apologised to the Indian government over child sexual abuse material on the company's platforms and for operational errors, local television channels reported on Wednesday.
Zuckerberg apologised for the presence of the material, as well as deepfake content and operational lapses on Meta's platforms, financial news publication Moneycontrol reported, citing sources.
The publication added the apology was conveyed during a meeting between Meta executives and Indian government officials on Tuesday.

India has tightened content rules this year, narrowing the legal shield that protects platforms from liability for user-generated content and increasing the exposure of the executives who run them.
