The Centre has summoned Meta's Head of Public Policy and an Instagram technical official for meetings on August 5 and 6. The government wants answers on how Meta's algorithms work and how political content is promoted. Officials will also discuss the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post, child sexual abuse material, AI-generated fake videos and compliance with Indian law.
