India Bullied Facebook into Censoring 27 Million Posts in One Month

Facebook, which has rebranded itself “Meta,” published a “compliance report” on Tuesday that said 24.6 million pieces of content were censored in India in March. Another 2.7 million pieces of content were deleted on the Instagram platform.

“The report describes our efforts to remove harmful content from Facebook and Instagram, and demonstrate our continued commitment to making Facebook and Instagram safe and inclusive,” Meta said in a statement quoted by the Times of India (TOI).

“We use a combination of artificial intelligence, reports from our community, and review by our teams to identify and review content against our policies,” the statement said.
