‘They removed it themselves’: Kerala Home Minister on Meta news removal row
Keralam Minister Chennithala says govt, police did not ask Meta to remove news posts
Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala stated on Tuesday that neither the state government nor the police had requested Meta to remove any news report or post. Chennithala expressed disappointment that Meta had taken down these items and questioned why they were removed. Meta's CEO, in a recent statement, clarified that only one request had been made by Chennithala's office - to restore the Chief Minister's official Instagram account, which had not been accomplished after two months.
Additionally, several favorable posts regarding Chennithala had also been taken down from social media. Chennithala urged those with their news reports or online media posts removed to work towards getting them restored, and offered to write a letter to Meta if necessary.
