Government Rejects Meta's Explanation on Brief Removal of PM Modi's Facebook Post

The Indian government has rejected Meta's explanation for briefly removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post, citing that the response was 'not reasonable'. Government sources told PTI that the issue is 'far from settled' and warrants further discussions. The incident has sparked concerns about social media censorship and the government's ability to regulate online content. Meta had initially explained that the post was removed 'in error', but the government is not satisfied with this explanation. The government will continue to engage with Meta over the incident, which has raised questions about the role of social media in Indian politics.
