Meta suspends ‘Kutty Sakhavu’ Instagram after video hits 2 million views

Meta has suspended the Instagram account 'Kutty Sakhavu', run by eight-year-old Muhammed Siyan from Tirur, Kerala, shortly after his video crossed two million views in 24 hours. The clip shows Siyan introducing the president and secretary of his Balasangham unit and ends with a shout of 'Lal Salaam!'.

The video drew comments from prominent political figures, including Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan and CPM MLA PA Mohamed Riyas. Meta's action has sparked online outrage, with users questioning why a child's innocent post was banned. The family has submitted a formal appeal to Meta, which has not yet given an official reason for the suspension.
