Kejriwal Claims Instagram Account Restricted in India, Tells Meta to Not 'Bow Down to PM Modi so Much'
Kejriwal said his account was unavailable to users in India and asked Meta for an explanation after a screenshot showed limited access.
- On Thursday, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed Meta restricted his Instagram account in India, alleging repeated inquiries to the company's local office received no explanation.
- Kejriwal linked the alleged restriction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, urging Meta not to "bow down" to the Prime Minister, warning, "Else he will allow u to run only his own account in India."
- Despite the allegations, Kejriwal's Instagram and Facebook accounts remained accessible to users in India, with the only visible message stating the account was "unavailable in some locations."
- This controversy follows Meta's recent apology for restricting a video by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan attributed to an internal error.
- Meta has not yet publicly responded to the claims made by the Delhi Chief Minister, leaving questions about the company's position unresolved.
