  • A set of photos showing India's ambassador to Belarus cut a cake fashioned after the Indian flag, is being shared online misidentifying the woman as Facebook India's Public Policy head Ankhi Das. The images are going viral with a false claim that Das disrespected the tricolour. The photos are being shared in the backdrop of a recent article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) accusing Facebook of overlooking infringements of its own hate-speech policies in India fearing a backlash from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). WSJ reported that Das had allegedly advised the platform against taking action against hate speech by members of the BJP, to avoid "damaging the company's business prospects in the country".
