      <title>Meta India head named in case over Facebook videos targeting Modi</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330465882/meta-india-head-named-in-case-over-facebook-videos-targeting-modi</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Police in the southern Indian ​city of Hyderabad have registered a case against ‌the head of Meta India over multiple videos posted on the company’s Facebook platform that depicted Prime Minister Narendra Modi ​in an “abusive manner,” a senior police officer said on Friday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police ​are preparing to send a notice to ⁠Meta Platforms regarding the case, which had not been issued ​as of Friday, said V Aravind Babu, deputy commissioner ​of police for cyber crimes in Hyderabad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meta did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case adds ​to a string of tensions between Meta and ​Modi’s government over content tied to the prime minister. India’s IT ‌ministry summoned ⁠Meta executives this week after Facebook briefly restricted a Modi post last week, with a top official saying the government wanted Meta to explain the matter ​at the highest ​level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Meta ⁠spokesperson said at the time that the post, which was Modi’s first where ​he addressed massive student protests that forced the resignation of ⁠the education minister, had been blocked inadvertently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Modi has also come in for a barrage of online criticism, jokes ⁠and ridicule by protesters in recent ​weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;India is Facebook’s biggest market by users.&lt;/p&gt;
