India’s parliamentary committee on communications and information technology has issued a three-day ultimatum to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding an apology. This action stems from the temporary removal of a video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Facebook on July 23rd. The committee, led by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, seeks accountability and action against those responsible for the removal. India Today reports the committee insists on a formal apology from Zuckerberg and demands Meta take steps to prevent similar occurrences. The incident has sparked concerns about potential censorship and manipulation of political content. The committee's strong response signals growing government scrutiny of social media platforms operating within India. Failure to comply with the ultimatum could result in further repercussions for Meta in the Indian market.
