Centre Summons Meta’s Public Policy Chief On August 5 Over PM Modi Post Row: Sources

The Central government has summoned Meta’s Head of Public Policy, Joel Kaplan, along with a technical official from Instagram, for a meeting on August 5, sources told ABP News.

According to sources, the government wants to understand how Meta’s algorithm functions and the parameters it uses to determine the reach and visibility of posts on its platforms.

The move comes after the government reportedly received multiple complaints alleging that anti-government posts receive greater reach and traction on Meta’s platforms.

Sources said the Centre is also seeking a written explanation from Meta and other technology companies regarding the alleged technical glitch linked to the controversy.

According to sources, the government may also ask Meta to issue a written apology over the removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s post.

 

The meeting is expected to focus on Meta’s content distribution systems, the alleged technical lapse, and the company’s response to the concerns raised by the government.
