Facebook hides posts calling for PM Modi’s resignation in India
https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/28/facebook-hides-posts-calling-for-pm-modis-resignation-in-india/
Facebook has hidden all posts with hashtag “ResignModi” in India, days after the U.S. social juggernaut — along with Twitter — complied with an order from New Delhi to censor some posts critical of Indian government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
On its website, Facebook said it has hidden posts with “ResignModi” hashtag because some of those violated its community standards. (A search for “ResignModi” returns several results for users in the U.S.) It’s unclear at this time if Facebook was ordered to take this call or if it did so on its own will.
