From controversies over its alleged role in influencing electoral processes to its purported neglect of hate speech, Meta faces a delicate balancing act in India.
Announcement is seen as a move to improve relations with US President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office later this month. It is unclear when or if this will be implemented in India.
The Competition Commission of India has imposed a five-year restriction on data sharing between WhatsApp and other Meta apps, following an investigation into WhatsApp's privacy policy.
The decision follows a 2021 probe into WhatsApp's privacy policy, highlighting growing regulatory scrutiny on tech giants as India plans stricter digital competition laws.
Global Affairs Canada says that Meta blocked news sharing on its platforms, regardless of outlet, as part of its business strategy since the Online News Act took effect in 2023.
A notice put up by Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration says restrictions are applicable to X, YouTube, Snapchat, LinkedIn & Meta platforms, among others.

What made him ‘Akbar the Great’ was not the might of his armies alone, but the political architecture he built to sustain power over a subcontinent teeming with diversity.
Meta has all along been a darling of rhe Left-liberal cabal. Every single policy of Meta has been formulated in accordance with the priorities and sensitivities of the Left-liberal secular cabal.
So, for them to complain, now that Meta has done away with “independent fact-checkers” is really silly. These “independent fact-checkers” were just foot soldiers of the Left-liberal cabal who carried forward the ideological battle against the right-wing. They were at the forefront of spreading woke ideas through the social media platforms.
It tells us a lot about the Left-liberals that now they have seemingly disowned Zuckerberg. These people just use and abuse others for their ideological ends and, once done, they throw them away.
Examples of “independent” fact-checkers are Akash Banerjee (Deshbhakt), Meghnad (Meghnerd) and others.
These are ideologically indoctrinated people whose very obvious slant towards a political party exposed them for who they really are. Thet can relied upon to fact check every right-wing propaganda piece but they are sure to let left-wing propaganda pass under the radar.
An example would be their coverage of rhe violent attack on actor Saif Ali Khan. Both of them deliberately peddled misinformation about the RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal being involved in this attack. The truth is now before all to judge and comment.
That is the fundamental problem with “independent” fact-checkers. They are never ever independent. Their self-certified independence is just a ruse to enable and aid left-wing propaganda run amok on social media platforms.
Hence, Facebook’s decision to cancel fact-checkers makes perfect sense.
Well “independent fact checkers” is just a pseudonym for the Left-liberal cabal which wants to wield authority over social media platforms. These “independent” fact checkers check only facts put out by the right-wing political forces. The massive disinformation campaign on social media platforms led by the global Left goes unchecked.
Hence, the move to remove these “fact checkers” with Community Notes is the right step. This should have happened at least five years ago. Better late than never.
Very Well written and researched article. Facebook and other Social Media and their owners are only concerned about their money and will do a deal with any who helps accomplish that. Bharat need to be very careful as they will stab us when we are in a weak vulnerable moment. For me the conclusion is this abstract from the article.
“ However, lawyer and founder of the Internet Freedom Foundation, Apar Gupta believes that neither Facebook as a corporation nor its founders have ever strongly held any well-defined ideological objectives beyond profit, accessibility and growing the company’s dominance.”
