Meta Platforms grows influence in India amid Gen Z protest use of Instagram

Meta Platforms is reportedly expanding its influence in India, where Gen Z protesters have widely relied on Instagram to raise concerns, according to CNBC’s “Inside India” newsletter.

The outlet links Meta’s growing sway to the role Instagram played in amplifying the protesters’ messages, framing the platform’s expanded presence as something that invites closer scrutiny in India’s political environment.
