Meta faces India pressure over potential loss of safe harbor protection

CNBC Markets reports that Meta is facing mounting pressure from Indian regulators that could strip the firm of its safe harbor immunity in the country.

The outlet says the push is tied to a fast-moving regulatory dispute, with demands reportedly aimed at revoking legal protection that currently shields the company.

CNBC World frames the situation as a looming 72-hour crisis, highlighting the risk to Meta’s ability to operate under India’s legal framework if the protection is removed.

The developments underscore how changes in platform liability rules in major markets can quickly affect large social media companies’ compliance and business footing.
