India's IT ministry summoned Meta after a post by Prime Minister Modi was removed from the platform; Meta admitted the removal was an error and said the content has been restored.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Platforms removing state leader content—even by mistake—now triggers direct ministry summons in India. Your content moderation system must treat heads of state as a separate compliance class, or you'll face escalation faster than you can appeal.
