Centre summons Meta global head over IT rules compliance

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology summoned Meta's global affairs president Joel Kaplan and Instagram chief Adam Mosseri over non-compliance with IT rules and generated content.

The summons followed Meta allegedly restricting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Instagram video.

A senior IT ministry official said the Indian policy team failed to convey the seriousness of issues to Meta's US team.

MeitY wants a broader discussion on synthetically generated content on Meta platforms and non-compliance with IT rules.
