Govt to hold policy, tech discussions with Meta within a week on removal of PM Modi’s post

The government will hold discussions with social media major Meta on policy and technical matters within a week over several concerns, including the removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook post, a senior government official said on Thursday.

The government has summoned Meta’s public policy head after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook post, on July 23, addressing India’s youth and promising stringent measures against exam paper leaks, was briefly restricted by the US-headquartered social media giant.
