Reddit Post Cites Meta Apology for Deepfakes Involving PM Modi

A Reddit post from r/RightWingIndia references a Times of India report stating that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for deepfakes, following a Meta official's apology regarding the removal of a post about PM Modi. The Reddit author suggests this indicates an 'escalating narrative algorithm' potentially influenced by 'foreign big people deep state'.

The Reddit post includes a quote attributed to 'TIMESOFINDIA.COM | Aug 5,': ''Apologised to minister': Meta official on PM Modi post removal; Zuckerberg sorry for deepfakes'. The author of the Reddit post then speculates, 'Who escalated these narrative algorithm ? No algorithm can think man. There are some foreign big people deep state what ever you call they are'. This discussion is presented within a broader context of alleged foreign interference and narrative manipulation in India.
