Govt-Meta meeting enters technical round on day 3; company lists ways to curb deepfakes, CSAM

The government on Friday held technical rounds of discussions with Meta, and the social media giant explained in detail how it would address the Centre’s concerns over deepfakes, child abuse content and unlabelled synthetically generated information circulating on platforms, sources said.

Sources said the government has asked the company to take specific steps and report back to it on the results.

After two days of meetings that saw IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw questioning Meta’s team – led by global affairs head Joel Kaplan – on the content recommendation algorithms and the social media giant’s compliance with local laws, day three of discussions was technical.
