India's Parliamentary Standing Committee will meet on August 3 with Google, Meta, X, and Snapchat to discuss platform regulation, following Meta's brief removal of PM Modi's Facebook video and police pressure on platforms to remove protest-related content. The meeting occurs amid heightened government scrutiny of social media content moderation and police demands for takedowns during student unrest.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
India's government is using parliamentary pressure and police takedown notices to establish direct leverage over platform moderation decisions. If you run a social platform in India, you now face a regulatory test case where content decisions are made under political scrutiny, not by your own policies.
