Meta restores Narendra Modi's Facebook video after glitch

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a video on his official Facebook account on July 23, addressing students and pledging stricter laws against paper leaks. The video quickly amassed millions of views.

On July 28 the video vanished from Facebook, and users were shown a notice citing a legal request. The removal sparked widespread debate about digital platform accountability and content moderation.

Meta later confirmed the video was taken down due to a temporary technical glitch, not any legal order, and issued an apology before restoring the content. The Indian government has demanded a detailed explanation from Meta and seeks greater transparency in the platform's moderation processes.
