BJP's Tuhin Sinha Slams Meta’s Bias As Arnab Pushes Big Tech Accountability

Tuhin Sinha said Meta’s move to block the Prime Minister’s video while failing to act on child abuse content showed a clear double standard. He argued that the company’s response was not just a technical issue, but an example of algorithmic manipulation that needs stronger government action.

He said the government has already been firm with Big Tech in the past, citing rules on compliance officers, traceability, and faster takedown timelines. Tuhin also warned that companies like Meta cannot be allowed to operate in India with what he described as a sense of entitlement and political bias.

The discussion then widened into concerns about foreign tech influence, online censorship, and whether India needs stronger sovereign digital systems. Arnab used the exchange to argue that this is not just a platform issue, but part of a larger battle over information control and political power.
