Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has apologised to the Indian government over deepfake content and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) circulating on the company's platforms, according to sources.
The apology reportedly covered lapses related to CSAM deepfakes and the platform's handling of such content.
Government sources said Meta was told it cannot claim to be merely an "intermediary" as it determines the reach and visibility of content on its platforms. As a result, the government argued that the company cannot automatically avail of the "safe harbour" protections under the IT Act.
According to sources, Meta also acknowledged that significant sums had been spent to boost certain types of content. Government sources said the company admitted shortcomings in its handling of the issue, expressed regret and apologised.
