Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of the most powerful individuals in the world and it has been that case for a long time now. Accordance with this, his social media following is also through the roof.

But something extremely detrimental has happened with regard to meta, which is one of the leading social media platform companies which owns Facebook and Instagram.

Incidentally, the first selfie video of Narendra Modi, which was shared on all social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, got restricted by Meta.

This incident has seriously infuriated the Indian government, and they have called for corrective measures from the social media company. Now it appears that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also furious with what had happened and is looking to draw an explanation from the company.

The clip in which PM Modi promised stricter action and fast-track courts against paper leaks, had initially shown as unavailable due to a legal request sparking questions. The Centre is now reportedly expected to summon Meta officials to seek an explanation.

The audacity of this leading social media platform to temporarily restrict a video featuring the head of the country has become topic of discussion all over. This is the most discussed topic on social platforms now.
