A parliamentary committee warned that if Zuckerberg fails to apologise within three days, Meta could lose its 'safe harbour' protection, exposing the company and its executives to legal action. Meta executives met with Indian officials, explaining the video's removal was inadvertent and that new protocols were established for prominent accounts, but this explanation was reportedly rejected as 'not reasonable'. The government also pressed Meta regarding child sexual abuse material on its platforms, following a BBC investigation, with Meta executives reportedly conveying an apology from Zuckerberg on this matter. This incident marks the latest instance of the Modi government challenging Big Tech companies over content moderation and platform responsibility.
