Parliamentary IT committee to Meta: Apologise for PM video removal or lose safe harbour

A parliamentary standing committee has issued an ultimatum to Meta (and Google) to apologize for content moderation issues, including the removal of a video by the Prime Minister, and has threatened to revoke their 'safe harbour' protection under Section 79 of the IT Act, 2000. The committee also raised concerns about child sex abuse material (CSAM) and cyber fraud. While the government demands action, legal experts question its direct power to unilaterally revoke safe harbour, stating such actions are typically determined by courts on a case-by-case basis.
