Meta has restored several Facebook posts belonging to the Kerala Chief Minister’s office that were previously removed by the platform. The content in question included an announcement regarding the Onam festival allowance for ASHA workers and official greetings for Nabi Day.

The removal of these posts sparked significant public outrage, leading to questions regarding Meta’s content moderation policies and the automated systems used to flag or remove official government communications. While the posts have now been returned to the platform, the incident has drawn attention to the transparency of social media companies when managing accounts belonging to public officials.

There is currently no official statement from Meta detailing the specific technical error or policy violation that triggered the initial removal. The Kerala government has not yet provided further details on whether they have received a formal explanation from the company regarding the disruption. The restoration follows a period of public pressure and criticism directed at the platform for its handling of the Chief Minister's official social media presence.
