Social media giant Meta on Monday said over 26.9 million content pieces were "actioned" on Facebook across 10 violation categories proactively in India during the month of September.

Its photo sharing platform Instagram took action against over 3.2 million pieces across nine categories during the same period proactively, as per data shared in a compliance report.

Under the IT rules that came into effect earlier this year, large digital platforms (with over 5 million users) have to publish periodic compliance reports every month, mentioning the details of complaints received and action taken thereon. It also includes details of content removed or disabled via proactive monitoring using automated tools.

Facebook had "actioned" about 31.7 million content pieces proactively in August, while Instagram took action against about 2.2 million pieces across nine categories during the same period proactively.

On Monday, Meta said 708 user reports were received by Facebook through its Indian grievance mechanism between September 1-30.

"Of these incoming reports, we provided tools for users to resolve their issues in 589 cases," the report said.

These include pre-established channels to report content for specific violations, self-remediation flows where they can download their data, avenues to address account hacked issues, among others, it added.

Between September 1-30, Instagram received 418 reports through the Indian grievance mechanism.

"Over the years, we have consistently invested in technology, people and processes to further our agenda of keeping our users safe and secure online and enable them to express themselves freely on our platform.
