In April 2020 Anant Kumar Hegde posted content on Facebook accusing Muslims of internationally spreading the coronavirus in the world and that was related to Tablighi jamaat and that post was posted on Twitter as well but twitter banned account.
February 2020 riots BJP lawmaker Kapil Mishra posted a video on Facebook if they didn't clear protestors demonstrating against Citizenship bill, his supporters would do so by force. In this case, Mark Zuckerburg won't tolerate politicians. In reality, if the post goes viral that cant be removed permanently even if post delete from the main page.
Facebook sometimes adapts its policies to meet political reliabilities in key markets because in India facebook users about 290million and this shows Facebook major objective is just business by investing $5.7billion in Reliance Jio.
Also some of the most popular brands pulling advertising over hate speech from Facebook such as Coca-cola, SAP, Puma, Adidas, etc.
