# MeitY asks Meta to revamp algorithms, curb deepfakes and propaganda 2026-08-08T11:19:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has asked Meta to revamp its algorithms and submit a compliance roadmap to curb deepfakes, propaganda and manipulated content. Officials want faster takedowns of harmful posts, stronger content moderation, and adherence to data localisation rules. The direction followed a meeting on Friday where Meta acknowledged gaps in its systems and outlined technical measures. The government has also flagged concerns about reappearing AI-generated content and poor understanding of Indian languages. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier apologised over errors related to child sexual abuse material after India raised the issue. Both sides have agreed to continue talks, with another meeting expected next week. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: algorithms, content moderation, deepfakes, MeitY, Meta, propaganda Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/meity-asks-meta-to-revamp-algorithms-curb-deepfakes-and-propaganda/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
