India warns Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to apologise to Prime Minister Narendra Modi or face legal action, according to reports citing a parliamentary committee. The committee tells Zuckerberg to issue the apology within three days. It also warns that failing to comply could affect Meta’s legal status in India, including protections often referred to as “safe harbour,” which govern how platforms may be treated for certain content-related liabilities. The warning is tied to Zuckerberg’s past public remarks about Modi and India, which the committee says are inappropriate. The reports describe the matter as a formal demand rather than a request, and indicate that the Indian authorities are prepared to pursue consequences if Zuckerberg does not meet the timeline set by the panel. The outlets also note that Zuckerberg has not been reported as issuing an apology in response to the warning. Overall, the coverage centers on India’s demand for a prompt apology and the potential legal and regulatory implications for Meta if the demand is not met.
