Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a video during the student protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The video showed PM Modi speaking to young people through selfie mode. However, Meta’s social media platform Facebook restricted the video in India. The restriction happened on PM Modi’s first video during the CJP protest period. Later, Facebook restored the video after questions arose over the action.
Meta Calls Restriction A Mistake After Controversy
Facebook restricted the video late at night after its upload during the CJP demonstration. When users clicked the “See Why” option at 1:25 AM, they saw a message. The message stated that Facebook restricted the content due to a legal request. Meanwhile, Meta responded that the removal happened accidentally. The company said it corrected the issue and restored the video. Therefore, Meta changed its decision after the controversy increased.
