Meta promises stronger action on CSAM, deepfakes after meeting with Ashwini Vaishnaw

Meta representatives engaged in discussions with Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to ensure alignment with Indian laws. Key topics included the removal of child exploitation material and the regulation of deepfake content. The company is mandated to adhere to local laws, dismissing any foreign legal standards. The government plans to scrutinize Meta's moderation policies and the accountability for paid content. Furthermore, notable Indian profiles will have safeguards against unjust removal.
