In July 2022, Meta published its first annual human rights report, which contained, among other information, a brief summary of the independent Human Rights Impact Assessment of its operations in India. After the publication and participation in several briefings on Meta’s First Annual Human Rights Report, Access Now called on Meta to disclose the independent Human Rights Impact Assessment report from India. They mentioned that by refusing to do so Meta is deflecting accountability and perpetuating human rights harms in India.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Meta to respond to this allegation. The company did respond.
