What happened
A Prime Minister-linked video was temporarily blocked on a social-media platform.
The allegation states that Meta officials were involved and that Government of India (Centre) coordination or intervention played a role in the temporary blocking outcome for the Prime Minister-linked video.
Background and earlier position
Social-media platforms typically apply content moderation through their own rules (community standards) and through legal and compliance workflows.
Government oversight related to information, communications, and public order can also affect platform actions through administrative and legal channels, depending on the governing framework and facts of each case.
