New Delhi, Aug. 5 -- Global executives from Meta, the parent company of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, will meet officials of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) between August 5 and 6, said a government official on Tuesday. The meeting was called by MeitY after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook reel addressing the nationwide protests over the NEET-UG paper leak was taken down from the platform on July 28 for about five hours. Speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event in New Delhi, MeitY secretary S Krishnan said that the discussion with Meta will not only centre around takedown of PM Modi's video but also on the challenges faced by Meta on non-compliance with Indian laws, Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on its platforms, AI-generated content and safeguards for prominent personalities. "There will be a range of issues.We know that the CSAM issue was raised.what measures have been taken regarding that? Synthetically generated information.to what extent that is being looked at? For prominent personalities, they have verified accounts. When content gets taken down, there have to be safeguards. We would like to understand from them as to why some of these things have not been working the way they are supposed to work and what are their challenges," said Krishnan. The August 5-6 meeting was called after MeitY expressed disappointment with Meta's India policy team, which they believed was not adequately conveying the government's concerns to the US team, HT reported earlier. The secretary did not reveal the names of the people coming down to India to partake in discussions. HT's emailed query to Meta did not receive a response. Meta's global public policy and global affairs leadership is headed by Joel Kaplan (Chief Global Affairs Officer) and Kevin Martin (Vice President and Head of Global Policy). This comes a day after chairperson of the standing parliamentary committee on IT and communications Nishikant Dubey asked Meta's CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to apologise for takedown of the reel in question. To be sure, the government cannot unilaterally revoke a platform's safe harbour. According to people present at the committee meeting that HT spoke to, an executive from Meta apologised once again for the takedown of Modi's video, attributing the removal to an algorithmic error. The executive also assured that it wouldn't happen again and that Meta will amend their algorithm. HT sought a response from Meta on the chair of the parliamentary committee seeking Zuckerberg's apology, but did not receive a response....
