# Govt presses Meta on deepfakes, CSAM, algorithm compliance 2026-08-09T08:20:56+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Indian government has completed three rounds of discussions with Meta on content moderation, deepfakes and platform algorithms, with another round expected next week. Government sources clarified that MeitY did not direct a complete algorithm overhaul, but insisted that Meta's India operations must comply with Indian law rather than relying solely on global policies. Key demands include a zero-tolerance approach to child sexual abuse material, human oversight in deepfake detection instead of full automation, and systems that better understand Indian languages and cultural nuances. Officials also questioned why flagged synthetic content continues to be amplified by Meta's recommendation algorithms. The talks follow a flashpoint over a temporary restriction of a post by Prime Minister Modi. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - timesnownews.com - english.mathrubhumi.com - ndtvprofit.com Tags: content moderation, CSAM, deepfakes, India, MeitY, Meta Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-tells-meta-to-comply-with-local-laws-in-content-moderation-talks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
