The government has summoned Meta's global head of public policy after the US-based social media company removed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's post, in which he had addressed India's youth and promised stringent measures against paper leaks, sources said on Tuesday.
Sources told PTI that Meta has told the government that a glitch in its automated content filters caused PM Modi's Facebook post removal.
Meta's explanation is not reasonable, and deeper discussions are needed, sources said, adding that the matter is "not settled and done".
They further said that if a glitch in the automated system caused the error, then Meta must improve its tools.
Sources said that the global head of public policy of Meta (Facebook and Instagram) has been summoned by the IT Ministry over the issue.
