Meta restores posts removed from Kerala’s Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) Facebook page after the office intervenes, according to reporting from Indian outlets. The restored content follows earlier removals that prompted scrutiny of how the takedown occurred and whether it affected official government communications.
Business Line and The Economic Times both report that the CMO office seeks clarification on the reason for the removal. It is understood to be requesting a formal explanation under India’s IT Act, including whether the posts were removed through automated systems or by manual review. The office also asks for safeguards to ensure protection of official government social media handles going forward.
While outlets differ in emphasis, the core points are consistent: Meta reinstates the removed posts, and Kerala’s CMO office pursues procedural clarity and assurances. The discussion centers on platform actions—automated versus human moderation—and compliance expectations for major platforms handling government pages.
