Mark Zuckerberg Should Apologise Over PM Modi’s Facebook Video Removal: Parl Panel Chair

Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology has questioned Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg over the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook video. The panel's chair, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, stated that Meta's CEO should apologise and that the social media giant's safe harbour protection under Section 79 of the IT Act could be reconsidered if Zuckerberg fails to do so.

The committee's concerns include Meta's content moderation practices, algorithmic bias, transparency in takedown decisions, and the company's ability to detect deepfakes and harmful content involving public figures.
