India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology summoned Meta's global policy chief after the company briefly removed a Facebook post by PM Modi about paper leaks and student protests, citing potential compliance violations under IT Rules governing content moderation by social media intermediaries.

India is escalating enforcement against platform moderation errors involving government content, now summoning global executives rather than local teams. If you operate a social platform or content moderation service in India, a single mistake on official content now triggers state accountability at your headquarters.
