A parliamentary panel has given Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg 3 days to apologise over the brief removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's July 23 video from Facebook, warning that failure to do so could lead to action against the company. The Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology, chaired by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, called the incident an "attack on democracy." While Meta said the removal was caused by a technical glitch and restored the video, the government rejected the explanation. The panel also warned that Facebook's Safe Harbour protection could be reviewed if similar incidents continue. (PC: India Today)
