AI Summary
Meta faces a 72-hour crisis in India after a parliamentary panel demanded an apology from CEO Mark Zuckerberg for restricting a post by Prime Minister Modi, threatening to revoke the company's safe harbor legal protection. Losing this immunity would make Meta liable for user-generated content, potentially making it impossible to operate in India, its largest market. Meta's chief global affairs officer apologized for the error, though local media reported a separate apology from Zuckerberg regarding child abuse content and deepfakes.
