Meta Officials Cite Security Concerns for Failing to Release Full India Hate-Speech Study

executives at meta platforms According to audio heard by the Wall Street Journal, rights groups privately said security concerns prevented them from releasing details of their investigation into hate speech about their services in India.

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, in July released a four-page summary of a human rights impact assessment on India, its largest user market, where it faced allegations of failing to adequately monitor hate speech against religious minorities. The India summary was part of the company’s first global human rights report. The 83-page global report provides detailed findings from some previous research; it contained only general descriptions of its India rating, which disappointed some lawyers.
