Meta Faces Indian Government Scrutiny After Illegal Content Admission

Meta is a big technology company that runs social media platforms.

The Indian government is looking very closely at Meta because Meta said it made mistakes that helped illegal content spread.

The government is not happy about this.

It wants Meta to follow Indian laws.

Government officials have asked Meta's leaders to come for more talks.

They want to talk about how to stop harmful content online.

They discussed bad pictures of children, called CSAM, and fake videos called deepfakes.

They also talked about who is responsible for what people post.

Meta said it made mistakes, and the government wants answers.

Everyone is still discussing what should happen next.
