According to reports, Meta described the takedown as an "erroneous" removal and clarified the circumstances behind the incident. Reports also say Mark Zuckerberg apologised for issues related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), deepfake content and operational errors on the platform. The government also raised concerns over online safety, content moderation and compliance with Indian regulations. Sources further indicated that if Meta fails to address these concerns, the government may consider reviewing the company's Safe Harbour protection under the Information Technology Act.
