Arvind Kejriwal says Meta restricted Instagram account in India, seeks explanation

AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that Meta had restricted his Instagram account in India without providing any explanation, accusing the social media giant of failing to respond to repeated queries and taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Meta had not issued any public response to the allegations at the time of publication.

In a post on X, Kejriwal said enquiries at Meta’s India office revealed that his Instagram account had been restricted and was unavailable in India. However, his Instagram and Facebook accounts remained accessible to users in India at the time of publication, while a screenshot shared by him showed his account status as “Unavailable in some locations.”
