Meta blocks access to Muslim news page in India

Economic Times · 20h

Meta has blocked access to a prominent Muslim news page, @Muslim, on Instagram in India at the government's request, describing it as censorship amidst escalating hostilities between India and Pakistan. The account, with 6.7 million followers, cannot be accessed in India, with Meta citing compliance with a legal request. The ban follows restricted access to Pakistani actors and cricketers' social media accounts and occurs alongside increased tensions and misinformation between the two countries.
