The Indian government, through the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), has formally advised Meta to conduct a review of its platform's recommendation algorithms. The primary objective of this directive is to prevent the spread of content that could lead to public disorder or social unrest. By targeting recommendation systems, the government is focusing on the mechanisms that determine which content is prioritized and amplified to users on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

In addition to algorithmic oversight, the advisory emphasizes the necessity for Meta to improve its cooperation with Indian law enforcement agencies. The government has explicitly reminded the company of its obligations under the IT Rules of 2021, which require digital platforms to provide information and assistance to authorized agencies within specific, legally mandated timelines. While the advisory frames these requests as essential for maintaining public order and legal compliance, it represents a continued effort by the Indian state to exert greater regulatory control over how global social media companies operate and moderate content within the country. Meta has not yet issued a detailed public response regarding how it intends to adjust its internal systems to meet these specific government expectations.
