Meta faces 72-hour crisis in India as legal protection at risk

Meta is navigating a critical 72-hour window in India that could strip away legal protections central to its business model in the country. The social media giant faces regulatory pressure that threatens its status as a platform protected from liability for user-generated content.

The dispute centres on compliance with Indian regulations, with authorities raising concerns about Meta's adherence to local laws. Loss of legal protection could expose the company to significant liability and require substantial operational changes.
