For every controversy, Meta’s default defence seems to be the same: “It was a technical glitch.” But a former Meta executive turned whistle-blower has punctured that narrative. Algorithms don’t create themselves. They are designed by people, trained on human choices, and operate within rules set by the company. Meta...

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's apology over the temporary removal of PM Modi's video, Cyber Expert Prashant Mali says, "If a social media platform has removed the Prime Minister of India's official video without valid justification, then this is not merely about one individual. It raises serious questions about accountability towards India's democratic institutions. However, I feel the government should deal with this issue strictly within the framework of law and not emotion. If Meta has violated Indian laws, the IT Act, the Intermediary Rules, or any other applicable legal provisions, the government is well within its rights to seek an explanation and initiate legal proceedings if warranted, because that is required. At the same time, Meta also must demonstrate transparency by publicly explaining why the video was taken down and whether this was the result of a human or technical error. An apology and a clear commitment to prevent such incidents in the future would be the responsible course of action. I feel India is one of Meta's largest markets, and every global platform, be it a technology platform or a social media platform, must respect India's laws, democratic institutions, and digital sovereignty. That's very important. Being a sovereign country and respecting digital sovereignty have become two things that Meta is clearly seen not doing here. And I think, henceforth, Meta will respect India's digital sovereignty." (Source: Self-Made)

Did Meta Make A Big Mistake By Removing PM Modi's Video?? - Amit Dubey Meta did make a major error by temporarily removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook video, a move that sparked intense governmental backlash and severe legal warnings in India. In an interview on the channel of popular digital creator RJRaunac, cyber security expert Amit Dubey highlighted how this incident exposed deep flaws in how big tech operates. PM Modi posted a video on July 23 addressing Gen Z students about the NEET paper leak controversy. The video was suddenly blocked and remained unavailable on Facebook for over five hours. Meta initially cited legal obligations, but later blamed an automated AI filter glitch for the accidental takedown. The Indian government and a parliamentary IT panel, led by MP Nishikant Dubey, heavily grilled Meta's global team. They rejected the "technical glitch" excuse, raising questions about potential algorithmic bias and systemic flaws. Loss of Safe Harbour Protection: The Parliamentary Committee warned Meta that it could lose its "safe harbour" immunity under Section 79 of the IT Act if accountability isn't met. This protection shields Meta from legal liability for user-generated content; losing it would expose the company to massive legal vulnerabilities. Demand for Zuckerberg's Apology: While Meta's Global Affairs chief Joel Kaplan conveyed an official apology to IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the parliamentary panel has heavily pushed for a personal, written apology from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The incident has significantly damaged Meta’s standing in India its largest global user market reigniting intense national debates around digital sovereignty and the lack of human transparency in big-tech content moderation.

Why Meta India Must Pay. Facebook and Instagram Should Face a Billion Dollar Fine For Restricting Modi's Speech. 1/ Meta's global affairs chief Joel Kaplan apologised to India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Mark Zuckerberg separately apologised over CSAM, deepfakes and "operational failures." Meta executives admitted money was paid to boost a certain type of content on their platforms. 2/ The backdrop: PM Narendra Modi's July 23 video addressing student protesters over the NEET-UG paper-leak scandal was briefly restricted on Facebook. Meta called it an "error" and restored it. But that error surfaced in the middle of a 36-day youth movement that had already forced a Cabinet minister to resign. 3/ Timing is the whole story. A platform doesn't get to plead "operational glitch" and "paid content promotion" in the same meeting and expect both to be read as unrelated coincidences. Either the system is out of control, or someone had their thumb on the scale. Neither answer is reassuring. 4/ This isn't Meta's first apology tour in India. Elections, protests, political content — the pattern keeps repeating: something goes wrong at a politically sensitive moment, a minister objects, an executive says sorry, and the underlying system is never actually opened up for inspection. 5/ An apology is not accountability. If Meta wants to be believed, it doesn't get to describe the outcome — it has to show the mechanism. What content was boosted, and to whom? What decided the boost — algorithmic, paid or manual? The scale and reach of that promotion. Who signed off on it? Nothing less is a real answer. 6/ India's Parliamentary IT committee is already floating the nuclear option: strip Meta of intermediary "safe harbour" status under Section 79, and treat it as a publisher — legally responsible for what it amplifies, not just what it hosts. That's the leverage that actually forces disclosure, not another apology in a closed-door meeting. 7/ The ask is simple: transparency first, trust second. No "trust our internal review." No quiet apology after a minister already caught it. If a platform can move a national protest narrative, it owes the country receipts — not regret. 8/ A $1 billion fine should drill the message home - information warfare against India comes with consequences.

Ben Thompson argues Meta's ad business is good for society and is frustrated Mark Zuckerberg doesn't defend it "I think a big problem Meta has is they don't tell this story. It's weird, but Mark Zuckerberg has the same problem Sam Altman does. He doesn't love ads." "They have the best ad business in the world. They have an ad business that I think is a societal positive." "Like you and I have set up these little content businesses that make great money, but content is kind of, you get a ride on social media, right? I grew up on Twitter, people sharing my links. It was amazing." "If you're selling some product, the beauty of the internet is there is a niche out there that wants that product. The question is how do you find the niche?" "Facebook advertising. That's what it does. It helps products find the people who didn't even know they wanted that product, but when they get it, they're so happy they got it." "And that is a huge societal positive." "You have new business from a new entrepreneur making a new product. You have customers who are happy they got something that they didn't know they would get otherwise." "Those customers, by the way, got lots of free entertainment, and they didn't have to pay for it along the way." "And Meta made a bunch of money for themselves and their shareholders, which is basically everyone in the world." "This is why advertising is great. And Meta's advertising in particular is awesome. And I get frustrated that Meta doesn't talk about that." "Mark Zuckerberg has never really talked about the societal benefits of advertising except in passing."
