India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has summoned senior Meta representatives within 7-10 days to explain policy and technical issues. The meeting follows a 'technical error' that led to the temporary removal of a video by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, prompting Meta to implement new protocols for high-profile accounts.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
India's government is setting a zero-tolerance policy for platform 'errors', especially on political content. If you operate a user-generated content platform in the country, assume any moderation mistake or technical glitch is a direct summons to Delhi.
