Hyderabad Police have registered a case against the head of Meta India following a complaint by the BJP over allegedly objectionable social media posts about Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Facebook and Instagram. The complaint accused Meta of failing to remove or act against content considered defamatory and inflammatory. Police have initiated an investigation under relevant provisions of the law and will examine Meta's role in content moderation and platform responsibility. The case has reignited debate over social media accountability, intermediary liability, and the balance between free speech and regulation in India. (PC: X)
