A US judge in June 2021 dismissed federal and state anti-trust complaints against Facebook expecting social media company to sell Instagram and WhatsApp. The judge was of the opinion that the Federal complaint was ‘legally insufficient.’

In India, Facebook has agreed to release a report containing information on content takedown requests initiated by the government and users in India, and the action taken by it. It proposes to add the data on WhatsApp too. India has reduced, under the IT rules, the time to takedown content from 72 hours to just 36 hours. Content of pornography – nudity must be taken down in 24 hours. Facebook says it is compliant with the new IT Rules.
