The government has summoned Meta's global team to India on August 5 and 6, with officials set to question the social media giant over a series of issues ranging from the brief restriction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on its platforms and safeguards around verified accounts.
Confirming the meeting, IT Secretary S Krishnan on Tuesday said the government wants to understand why such lapses continue despite Meta being one of the world's leading technology companies.
