Meta should show greater accountability

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The Indian government believes Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, cannot be classified as a passive intermediary platform and should instead be treated as a service provider.
Government officials from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology say Meta's algorithms actively curate content, showing users more material related to what they have already viewed and deciding what users see.
In the government's view, this active role disqualifies Meta from the legal exemptions available to passive intermediary platforms.
Officials noted that only courts have the authority to interpret the law and make the final decision on Meta's classification.
The classification matters because it would make Meta clearly accountable for content on its platforms, and the company has already agreed to report child-safety content directly to India's cyber crime portal.

Whether courts accept the government's argument that Meta is a service provider rather than a passive intermediary.
How Meta's agreement to report child-safety content to India's cyber crime portal is implemented.
Any further government steps to define accountability for service-provider platforms.
