Meta blocks major Muslim Instagram page in India amid rising conflict

Meta has banned a prominent Muslim news page on Instagram in India after receiving legal requests from the government, described as censorship amid escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries. The founder of the @Muslim account, with nearly 7 million followers, faced significant backlash for his criticism of the move and has requested Meta to reinstate the account. The situation comes amid intense hostilities and recent missile strikes in Kashmir, with both India and Pakistan imposing bans on foreign news outlets and individuals. Additionally, platforms like YouTube have restricted access to Pakistani content due to perceived "provocative" material.
