Meta calls three-hour takedown deadline unrealistic

Even as the compliance regime for new takedown rules on unlawful content nears implementation, Big Tech major Meta on Tuesday said the proposed requirements—such as a three-hour window for acting on government takedown requests—could be difficult to operationalise. The company, however, reiterated its commitment to complying with the laws of the country.

“Operationally, three hours is going to be really challenging,” Rob Sherman, Deputy Chief Privacy Officer and head of AI policy at Meta, said during a media interaction at the India AI Impact Summit.
