Meta global team on Wednesday met top IT ministry officials, following government summons over the removal of PM Narendra Modi's post on Facebook.
Wrongful action on prominent post and lapses in curbing child sexual abuse material on social media platform were among the concerns raised by the government.
Top Meta executives, including Joel Kaplan, Global Affairs Officer, met IT Secretary S Krishnan and other senior officials of MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) in a discussion that lasted 45 minutes.
The team is also slated to meet Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw later today.
The meeting is significant as the government had summoned Meta's top global executives after Prime Minister Modi's recent Facebook post addressing Indian youth and promising stringent action against paper leaks was briefly restricted on the platform.
