Meta Platforms' Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan apologised to India's information technology minister for briefly restricting a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July, he said in a statement on Wednesday (Aug 5). "I apologised to the minister on behalf of Meta for the error restricting PM Modi's post," Kaplan said. Last month, India's information and technology ministry summoned Meta executives after Facebook briefly restricted a post by Modi. Meta said the post had been blocked inadvertently because of an operational error. The incidents are part of a recent run of tensions between Meta and Modi's government over content related to the prime minister.
