Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has removed two Facebook pages and three Instagram accounts linked to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA T Raja Singh. The action comes roughly two weeks after India Hate Lab (IHL) published a report highlighting the dissemination of hate speech on social media platforms. IHL is a project of the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH), a nonprofit think-tank based in Washington, USA.
Meta has removed two Facebook pages linked to Raja Singh with over one million followers and three Instagram accounts with over 155,000 followers, IHL announced on Thursday, February 20.
