Hyderabad Police registered a case against Meta India's head and several social media users on July 30 for allegedly circulating inflammatory Facebook videos targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The FIR follows a series of protests where demonstrators used social media to criticize government policies, prompting the Centre to summon Meta's global team to address algorithmic bias and content moderation.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has demanded a detailed report from Meta regarding the restriction of VVIP accounts and the platform's failure to curb hate speech during recent unrest.
