New Delhi: In India, Hindu extremists got a free pass to spread Hindutva on social media.
In order to win elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anti-Muslim party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started using other social media platforms including Facebook to spread hatred against Muslims.
Facebook approves showing anti-Muslim content in India In the advertisement on Facebook, Muslims have been likened to insects and terrorists. BJP leaders are relentlessly using social media to spread anti-Muslim content and promote religious violence, but no action is being taken against them.
The Modi government falsely claimed that they wanted to wipe out Hindus from India with a picture of the Pakistani flag in an advertisement calling for the execution of an opposition leader. BJP and Modi are eager to come to power for the third term to promote Hindu nationalism in India.
Modi submitted 22 advertisements to Metta in English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, of which 14 were approved. Meta has a clear policy to prevent the spread of manipulative AI-generated content on its platforms, but anti-Muslim content has not been removed, while five anti-Modi speeches and advertisements have been removed.
