Viral AI Video of Kerala CM V D Satheesan Dancing with KSEB Officials Restricted in India by Meta
Meta said it restricted the AI clip in India after a government legal request, as the Instagram post drew 1.78 crore views.
- On Monday, Meta restricted access in India to a viral AI-generated video showing Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan dancing with Kerala State Electricity Board officials; the Instagram video posted Thursday had garnered 1.78 crore views by Sunday.
- The restriction followed a legal request from the Government of India, with Meta informing the creators: "We have restricted access to your content in India pursuant to notice from the Government of India."
- Chief Minister Satheesan recently praised the video at a Kerala High Court event, claiming he could dance better than Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.
- Abhijith, who operates the Instagram page, stated he does not believe the Chief Minister's Office requested the restriction, citing Satheesan's previous public appreciation of the video.
- This incident follows earlier instances where Meta removed content critical of the State government, citing technical reasons, after which the Chief Minister's Office had written to Meta seeking reinstatement.
