Following growing criticism against Meta’s efforts to contain the spread of hate speech and incitement to violence, it released its first annual Human Rights Report, which includes a brief section reporting on the Meta commissioned independent human rights impact assessment (HRIA) for India. In a stark contrast to the reporting on country specific HRIAs released so far, the reporting on India seems perfunctory and non-reflective of the inputs provided by several civil society organisations who participated in the assessment. Furthermore, Meta fails to publish the full report of the HRIA which leads to concerns around transparency and accountability.
