Meta apologises to India after restricting a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to reporting from Channel NewsAsia and The Express Tribune, Meta says the restriction was not intentional and occurred due to an operational error. Both outlets report that the company blocked the content inadvertently, and then issued an apology to address the mistake. The accounts describe Meta’s explanation that the post was affected by internal processes rather than any deliberate action against the prime minister or his message. The reports do not indicate that the company found the content to be in violation of its policies; instead, they attribute the incident to an error in how the post was handled. The apology follows the removal or restriction of the post, with Meta communicating that it is correcting the issue and taking steps to prevent similar occurrences. The incident highlights how social-media platforms’ automated or operational systems can sometimes lead to unintended blocks, even when no underlying wrongdoing is alleged.
