Meta blocks Muslim news page in India after govt request
|
[GEO.TV] Meta has banned a prominent Moslem news page on Instagram in India at the government s request, the account's founder said Wednesday, denouncing the move as "censorship".
Instagram users in India trying to access posts from the handle @Moslem -- a page with 6.7 million followers -- were met with a message stating: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content."
There was no immediate reaction from the Indian government on the ban, which comes after access was blocked to the social media accounts of Pak actors and cricketers.
"I received hundreds of messages, emails and comments from our followers in India, that they cannot access our account," Ameer al-Khatahtbeh, the news account's founder and editor-in-chief, said in a statement.
"Meta has blocked the @Moslem account by legal request of the Indian government. This is censorship."
Meta declined to comment.
A front man for the tech giant directed AFP to a company webpage outlining its policy for restricting content when governments believe material on its platforms goes "against local law."
