Meta apologised to the government during a Parliamentary Standing Committee meeting over the brief removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post last week, days after receiving a government notice. The company said its deepfake detection mechanism mistakenly flagged the video, causing a technical glitch that temporarily removed the content. However, the parliamentary panel rejected the apology, saying accountability required more than an explanation. Members demanded that Meta identify responsible officials and face legal action. The committee also passed a resolution condemning the platform and urged Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan to initiate strict action against Meta's officials, arguing that the incident warranted stronger regulatory and legal scrutiny than an apology alone.
