GK and monthly revision
Meta ramps up censorship of protest, political reels
Meta has intensified censorship on Instagram in India by blocking posts from political parties like the Cockroach Janta Party, their representatives, and ordinary protesters. The platform is removing content even when not legally mandated, raising concerns about freedom of expression and digital rights. This development highlights the growing tension between social media regulation and constitutional guarantees under Article 19(1)(a). It is highly relevant for exams focusing on digital governance, IT Rules 2021, and fundamental rights.
