EXCLUSIVE | Yesterday, we reported that @amitmalviya has 'XCheck' status, giving him the ability to take down Insta posts. Meta's @andymstone replied saying our documentation was fabricated. So why did he send an email asking how it was leaked? ?
@amitmalviya @andymstone The claim, also made by a Meta spokesperson on email, called The Wireâs news report on BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya enjoying censor privileges âinaccurate and misleadingâ and said that the âunderlying documentation appears to be fabricatedâ.
@amitmalviya @andymstone Stoneâs public comments, though, are starkly in contrast to an internal email he sent to a group of Meta employees, asking âhow the hellâ the same document had been âleakedâ. This email was shared with The Wire by a source at Meta. ?
@amitmalviya @andymstone Stone sent it out at 10:34 EST, i.e. 20:04 IST, on October 10. The link Stone gave for the document is to the PDF of the Insta post-incident report The Wire had uploaded â the very document that Stone and Meta claims âappears to have been fabricatedâ.
@amitmalviya @andymstone In his internal email, @andymstone demanded an âactivity report for the document for last one monthâ â presumably in order to identify the source of the leak â and also asked why the reporter on the story was not on Metaâs âwatchlistâ.
@amitmalviya @andymstone Rajiv Aggarwal, a former IAS officer who is now head of public policy for Meta in India, wrote back to him at 1045 EST/2015 IST saying he had âassigned a comms member from India to talk to the journalistâ.
@amitmalviya @andymstone Stoneâs tweets say that the posts were âsurfaced for review by automated systems, not humansâ. However, the notifications received by @cringearchivist â the Insta account which uploaded the post â show that the post on Adityanath was âreviewedâ twice.
@amitmalviya @andymstone @cringearchivist In a further corroboration of the documentâs authenticity, the dates on the review notifications received by @cringearchivist also match with the dates generated by the millisecond timestamps mentioned in the internal Insta report published by The Wire.
