Algorithms of Exclusion: Metaโ€™s Failure to Prevent Anti-Muslim Hate During Bihar Elections โ€“ Diaspora in Action for Human Rights and Democracy

Read the full report here ๐Ÿ‘‰ : dahrd.org/report/algor...

Our Recommendations:
โ—Strengthen Enforcement of Platform Content Regulations during Elections.
โ—Designate Islamophobic Networks as Dangerous Organisations and Individuals (DOIs).
โ—Enhance Transparency in Hate Speech Moderations.
โ—To the Government of India: Reservation under Article 19 (2)

Our findings show a clear pattern: Metaโ€™s algorithms amplify hate, silence minorities, and enable exclusion. "Meta's platforms have consistently been an instrument for legitimizing the disenfranchisement of Muslim in India," said @ritumbra.bsky.social , Executive Director of DAHRD.

โ— The BJPโ€™s official Facebook page shared posts portraying Muslims as โ€œinfiltratorsโ€ who should be removed from India.

โ— Metaโ€™s sustained failure to enforce hate-speech policies continues even in India, its largest market with over 500M users.

What we observed:

โ—Posts depicting Muslims as โ€œrats,โ€ โ€œdogs,โ€ and โ€œinfiltratorsโ€ remained online, despite violating Metaโ€™s own Community Standards.

โ— Pages repeatedly reported for hate speech continued operating freely, spreading dehumanising propaganda targeting Muslims.

โ—Over 4 months, we monitored 211 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) social media accounts and affiliated #Hindutva networks. What we found was alarming: a systematic spread of #anti-Muslim hate, much of it unchecked by #Meta.

๐Ÿšจ New Report alert๐Ÿšจ

Our new report reveals how #Meta failed to prevent anti-Muslim hate during the Bihar Assembly elections letting #Facebook become a megaphone for dehumanising #propaganda.

On this International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, we call on governments everywhere to uphold this principle and protect the free press, a foundation of accountability and democratic truth.

๐Ÿ“ฐ As Reporters Without Bordersโ€™ Director General Thibaut Bruttin stated, true press freedom means journalists can work without fear or constraint, be it political, legal, social or economic.

๐ŸŒThis problem is not unique to India: the 2025 World Press Freedom Index found that more than half of the worldโ€™s citizens live in extremely dangerous places for press freedom, places where working as a journalist means risking life or liberty.

๐Ÿ”‡ India remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for media workers. According to the 2025 World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders, India ranks 151st globally, with two to three journalists killed every year because of their work.
