# Govt summons Meta global team over algorithmic bias, deepfakes 2026-08-07T09:27:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The government has summoned Meta's global team to answer questions on algorithmic bias and its role in public order, days after a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefly restricted on Facebook. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology found Meta's explanation of a technical glitch inadequate. Separately, Hyderabad cybercrime police have booked Meta India head Arun Srinivas and several accounts over alleged morphed and AI-generated posts targeting PM Modi during protests against the NEET paper leak. The government has also directed Meta to submit a compliance roadmap for algorithmic changes to curb deepfakes, propaganda and unlawful content, and to coordinate with the Centre's Quick Response Teams for faster detection and takedowns. Meta's global team is expected to appear before a parliamentary panel as well. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - thehindu.com - indiatoday.in Tags: algorithmic bias, content moderation, cybercrime, Meta, social media Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/government-to-question-meta-over-algorithmic-bias-and-public-order/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
