The claim of money being paid pertained to child sexual abuse content. The government also questioned Meta over child sexual abuse material, deepfakes, safeguards for verified and prominent accounts, algorithmic bias and compliance with Indian law. Meta was in the crosshairs of the government after temporarily restricting the Prime Minister’s July 23 Facebook post, in which he addressed Indian youth and promised stringent action against paper leaks. Meta later restored the post, attributing its removal to an error by AI-powered automated content filters, and apologised. Meta had separately come under regulatory scrutiny after receiving a government notice last month over alleged child sexual abuse material in paid advertisements on Instagram.
