Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has apologised for the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook post, while the company’s global leadership admitted to lapses in content moderation, including the promotion of illegal content through paid boosting, government sources said on Wednesday after high-level meetings with the Centre.
