A parliamentary committee in India has warned Meta that it could lose its 'safe harbour' protection under the Information Technology Act unless the company apologises for briefly removing a Facebook reel posted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Safe harbour provisions give tech firms general immunity from legal liability for content posted by users. The committee also named Google India and sought similar action against the company over financial frauds. The warning to Meta was issued in connection with the temporary removal of PM Modi's reel, which has become a point of contention. The committee's stance indicates that failure to apologise could strip Meta of the legal protections that shield platforms from being held responsible for user-generated content. The development adds to pressure on global tech companies operating in India, as authorities increasingly scrutinise their content moderation practices and legal compliance.
