Meta to appear before govt to explain policy, technical issues within 7-10 days: MeitY Secretary S Krishnan

Meta has agreed to appear before the Indian government within 7-10 days to explain policy and technical issues.

MeitY Secretary S Krishnan said the government is examining the matter and has sought views from several messaging platforms.

Meta expressed regret over the removal of PM Modi's Facebook video due to a technical error and shared its understanding of the incident.

Meta established new protocols on July 28 concerning accounts of prominent persons to prevent recurrence.

The government has asked Meta to send senior-most representatives to provide clarity at both policy and technical levels.
