Should India Crack Down On Meta? Republic Viewers Demand Action After PM Modi Video Block

Arnab Goswami opened the discussion by saying the Meta block of the Prime Minister’s video was extremely serious and not something the government should ignore. He argued that the platform should not be able to block a leader’s message while allowing anti-national, obscene, or harmful content to spread.

Callers from Kolkata, Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Chennai backed a tougher line. They said Meta has shown bias, ignored harmful content, and should face strict action, with several viewers demanding stronger laws, tighter controls, and even a crackdown if the company keeps getting away with it.

The debate also turned to foreign influence, algorithmic manipulation, and whether India needs to build stronger digital systems to stop global platforms from controlling what people see. Arnab closed the segment by reflecting the public mood on the show: don’t just complain; act.
