Facebook did not ban a violent Indian extremist group after deciding that such a move could adversely impact the company’s business prospects in the country as well as endanger staff, it has been claimed.
Earlier this year, officials at the social media giant held that the Bajrang Dal group supported violence against minorities across India and should be banned from the platform, reported
The Wall Street Journal.
However, a subsequent report by Facebook’s security team warned such a move could infuriate the group as well as politicians from India’s ruling Hindu nationalist party.
