Meta has confirmed that the removal of a video featuring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Facebook was an error and the content has been restored.
Meta issued a statement on Thursday saying the removal of a video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi was an accidental mistake and that the content has been reinstated. The video, which was posted by the official Facebook page of the Prime Minister, highlighted Modi’s recent visit to a rural development project in Uttar Pradesh. The deletion sparked criticism from opposition parties and civil‑rights groups who argued that the action was a violation of free speech. Meta said it will review its moderation policies to prevent similar errors and has pledged to provide clearer guidance to its content‑review teams.
