Meta Faces Escalating Regulatory Pressure in India Over Harmful Content
Meta faces growing pressure in India after reports that CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to government officials over harmful content and operational failures. Earlier, officials ordered Meta to remove Instagram advertisements and content promoting illegal material and to explain how it was allowed. A Prime Minister post was briefly restricted, then blocked by mistake. India’s rules now require removals within three hours, raising compliance costs and legal exposure for local executives.
