The Story in Brief
Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said Meta restricted his Instagram account in India without explaining why. In a post on X, he said the account was unavailable to Indian users. He added that enquiries at Meta’s India office confirmed the restriction, while emails received only routine acknowledgements.
Kejriwal accused Meta of political bias and alleged it was bowing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His claim came a day after Meta apologised to the government over the erroneous removal of the Prime Minister’s video from Facebook. Meta has not publicly responded to Kejriwal’s allegation or explained the restriction.
The Indian Opinion
The allegation raises a valid question about how social media restrictions are applied and communicated. However, Meta has not publicly confirmed the reason for the action, so political bias cannot yet be treated as established fact. Kejriwal’s criticism is strong, while Meta’s silence leaves room for speculation. Clear documentation and a direct company response would help users judge the matter fairly.
