Meta's AI model reportedly attempted to hack another company's systems during testing. How significant is this development, and what does it reveal about the risks of advanced AI systems?

Bruce Schneier - Security Technologist shares his views in conversation with @GaurieD on India Business Report

This is so true. As @Klonick puts it:

[Vijay Shekhar Sharma @vijayshekhar]

These days : If your model didn’t hack someone unexpectedly, do you even have a frontier model?

[Snehashish Ghosh @snegho]

Great to see @schneierblog on @NDTVProfit while waiting for my segment! I was nodding along to everything he said, wondering how I could possibly add to it. Luckily, my topic turned out to be a different one. Kudos for having *real* security experts on the show. @GaurieD

Uh oh. DeepSeek has sent around an e-mail noting that they'll be raising prices for their API.

I guess my days of treating it as close-to-free are over.

Nobody is saying that all software has to be open source. What they’re saying is that open-weight AI should be allowed. By implication, they’re rejecting your company’s incessant machinations to kneecap the open model ecosystem. Read the room.

@AihikS @kushaldas @Cyberdost @github @jack It is not an “order”.

[Snehashish Ghosh @snegho]

79(3)(b) notice is not a “direction” or “order” of the Government. It merely limits the ability of bitchat in availing safe harbour defence if prosecuted under Indian law.

[Live Law @LiveLawIndia]

HC: irreparable injury would be caused not only to Open AI but also to the publiv at large if an interim injunction is granted . Application dismissed

HC: i have decided all the 4 issues. On issue of territorial jn i have held in favour of plaintiff.

[jack @jack]

the government of india does not like technologies like bitchat and wants it taken down

[Snehashish Ghosh @snegho]

@AzdhanB Yes, that’s correct.

[Snehashish Ghosh @snegho]

This says legal request. So it is a S. 79(3)(b) notice. In terms of the temporary block, important to ask whether Instagram is conforming to its GNI commitments or taking down accounts without any review. GNI Commitments: https://t.co/iKxlcUOQpC

IFF Statement: Blocking of the Cockroach Janta Party's Instagram account

July 22, 2026

The Instagram account of the Cockroach Janta Party (@cockroachjantaparty) is no longer accessible to users in India. Meta's notice states only that it complied with "a legal request to restrict this content". No order has been published and the legal basis, the issuing authority, and the reasons remain unknown.

We emphasise that the account is primarily engaged in acts of political speech that enjoy the full protection of Article 19(1)(a). The account has been restricted after the movement's march to Parliament over the NEET paper leak, and while the Delhi High Court examines allegations of excessive police force against protesters. Viewed in this background the blocking of its social media account at this moment is the suppression of dissent.

The secrecy compounds the illegality. In Shreya Singhal v. Union of India, the Supreme Court upheld Section 69A of the IT Act on the strength of its procedural safeguards. In Anuradha Bhasin, it held that orders restricting fundamental rights must be published. These safeguards are defeated when the originator learns of a blocking action from an error message.

We also note that Meta's notice refers to a "legal request", not an order. We call on MeitY to disclose the order, furnish a copy to the account holder, and provide a hearing. We call on Meta to inform the account holder of the specific legal process it received. Wholesale blocking of an entire account is disproportionate and unconstitutional.

Shadow bans or “mark as disturbing” (MAD) interstitial significantly reduces reach. IIRC, the interstitial is only applicable in cases of violent and graphic content.

IFF statement on the restriction and shadow bans of protest related content on Instagram and demanding transparency from META

July 22, 2026

Users across India are reporting that reels and videos documenting the ongoing student protests in Delhi are being marked as "sensitive content" on Instagram. This includes stories being shared by the CJP official account and for Anish Gawande. Story shares of these reels display an interstitial warning, and in several instances the "See reel" option does not function at all. Creators are also reporting a sudden and unexplained collapse in reach, consistent with what is commonly described as, "shadowbanning".

We emphasise that protest documentation is core political speech. It sits at the heart of the guarantee under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution and when a platform suppresses such content at scale, silently and without notice, it injures both the speaker and the public's right to receive information.

We call on @Meta to state clearly:

(1) whether accounts or posts relating to the Delhi student protests are being subjected to reduced distribution or feature restrictions;

(2) the specific Community Standard under which reels are being labelled as sensitive content;

(3) whether any of these actions arise from legal demands by government authorities, including through the Sahyog Portal or notices under the IT Act; and

(4) what remedy and appeal is available to affected users.

We call on Meta to publish this information and restore content that does not violate its stated policies.

Statement Regarding the Suspension of https://t.co/ku1Zi3GLMi

The .ME Registry works closely with law enforcement to monitor and mitigate issues across the .ME domain in accordance with applicable laws, including sanctions requirements.

On 13 July, First VPN Service (1VPNS) was included as a sanctioned entity by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A Telegram channel using the https://t.co/ku1Zi3GLMi domain was among 1VPNS identified infrastructure. Accordingly, the https://t.co/ku1Zi3GLMi domain was suspended.

On 14 July, Telegram provided confirmation that it had removed its links and affiliations with 1VPNS. Once the confirmation was reviewed and verified, the suspension was removed from the https://t.co/ku1Zi3GLMi domain.

We appreciate Telegram’s prompt cooperation in resolving this matter.
