Govt summons Meta executives again over temporary restriction of PM Modi's Facebook post
India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology summoned Meta executives after Facebook temporarily restricted a video post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Meta acknowledged the restriction was an inadvertent error and restored the content.
Meta informed the government it has introduced new protocols for accounts of prominent public figures to prevent recurrence.
The incident highlights ongoing Indian government scrutiny of content moderation and platform governance by global tech firms.
The post, originally uploaded on Instagram and shared on Facebook, was PM Modi's first public address on nationwide student protests over the alleged NEET paper leak.
