PM Modi’s selfie video removed briefly from Facebook; Meta apologises

The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on Tuesday summoned Meta’s global head of public policy after a video posted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefly taken down, ANI reported.

Secretary S Krishnan told the news agency that the company contended it happened because of a “technical error” but said that the reasoning was not “acceptable in its entirety”.

On Thursday, the prime minister posted a late-night video message on social media assuring strict action on cases of paper leaks in competitive examinations, amid nationwide youth protests over irregularities in the process.
