India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology directed Instagram to remove all ads and content promoting child sexual abuse material. The government also asked Meta to provide a detailed response within seven days. The issue adds to a difficult week for Meta in India. WhatsApp also came under scrutiny over its planned username feature, which the government said could increase cybercrime risks. Meta defended the feature as a privacy tool that lets users connect without sharing phone numbers. India is Meta's largest user market across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, making regulatory pressure there especially important for investors. The next focus will be Meta's response to the government and whether India pushes for tighter rules on platform safety and data controls.
