There was an uproar after PM Modi's post was removed.

The dispute between the central government and META regarding the removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post remains unresolved. According to government sources, META's explanation is not satisfactory to the government. The government says the issue will be discussed in more detail and the matter cannot be considered closed at this time.

In fact, a Facebook post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was removed from the platform, raising questions. After the matter came to light, Meta clarified that the post was removed due to a technical error. The company also stated that the post was restored to Facebook as soon as the error was discovered.

Government wants detailed information

However, the government is not entirely satisfied with this explanation. According to sources, the government believes that the removal of such an important post cannot be dismissed as a mere technical error. Therefore, the government wants more detailed information from Meta. The government says that it is important to hold social media platforms accountable, especially when it concerns official content related to the country's Prime Minister. Therefore, further discussions between the government and Meta on this issue are likely to take place in the coming days.

Post accidentally deleted - Meta

Meta says the post was mistakenly removed and was immediately restored, but the government doesn't consider this response sufficient. Therefore, the matter is not yet completely closed, and further action or discussion is likely.
