The Parliamentary IT Committee has issued a formal ultimatum to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, demanding an unconditional apology within three days for the unauthorized removal of a video featuring PM Narendra Modi.
Failure to comply with this directive could result in the revocation of Meta's 'safe harbour' protection under India's IT laws, exposing the platform to direct legal liability for user-generated content.
The committee's decision follows a heated meeting where Meta officials were grilled over alleged algorithmic bias and the arbitrary suppression of political content on their platforms.
