# Meta Admits Algorithm Gaps After Modi Video Takedown 2026-08-07T08:50:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Meta’s global technical team met senior Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology officials and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in New Delhi after a Facebook video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefly removed by automated moderation. Aaj Tak reports that the company accepted flaws in its algorithmic systems, called the removal an operational error and apologised. The video was restored quickly. The company presented a plan covering safety measures and separate handling protocols for accounts of prominent public figures. The ministry said platforms must follow Indian law and warned that repeated failures could affect Meta’s legal immunity and safe-harbour protection under IT laws. Meta’s team is expected to remain in India until talks and corrective steps progress. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Tags: content moderation, MeitY, Meta, safe harbour, social media Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/meta-admits-algorithm-gaps-after-modi-video-takedown/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
