Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, received over 27,000 reports via India's grievance mechanism in March, indicating a surge in synthetic content concerns, particularly deepfakes.
&nbsp;
According to Meta, between March 1 and March 31, it received 15,226 reports on Facebook. Out of 15,226 reports on Facebook, 4,323 were related to fake profiles.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;In response, Meta provided tools for users to address their issues in 8,720 cases. They reviewed content in the remaining 6,506 cases, taking action on 2,207 reports but leaving 4,299 unactioned.
&nbsp;
On Instagram, Meta received 12,084 reports, with 5,055 concerning fake profiles. Meta facilitated resolution in 5,776 cases and reviewed content in the remaining 6,308, taking action on 1,817 reports.
&nbsp;
Compliance with India's IT Rules, 2021, is paramount for Meta, as it complied with all 39 orders from the Grievance Appellate Committee in March.&nbsp; WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, reported banning over 7.9 million accounts in India during March to adhere to the same rules.
&nbsp;
Monthly compliance reports are mandatory under the new guidelines, necessitating detailed information on actions taken against user-generated content on Meta's platforms in India.
