Business To Business Kolkata, 07 August, 2026: After two days of intensive questioning of Meta Platforms, the government on Friday moved to technical-level discussions with the social media company, during which Meta outlined steps it plans to take to address concerns related to online harms, according to sources.
The discussions focused on issues including:
- Deepfakes
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
- Unlabelled synthetically generated content on Meta platforms
Sources said Meta explained how it intends to strengthen measures to tackle these challenges. The government has asked the company to take
specific corrective steps and submit updates on the outcomes.
