The wire is no longer reporting on Meta. The publication said on Sunday that it had found some discrepancies with the material that it had reported on. The Wire said it was appropriate to withdraw the stories due to the fact it couldn't verify two emails that were critical to its coverage of Meta. The Wire said it couldn't verify the message in one of the emails. An ongoing investigation by The Wire doesn't allow it to take a conclusive view of the authenticity of the sources with whom a member of the reporting team says he has been in touch over an extended period of time We are looking into the possibility that it was intended to deceive The Wire. The Wire claimed that Meta gave an information technology official with India's ruling party the power to remove posts from the photo sharing service. After the company shared a rebuttal on October 12th, The Wire continued to publish stories that claimed Meta was deceiving the public, and an October 15th article featured a screen recording the outlet claimed showed proof of the original request. An internal investigation by Meta found that the video showed a Workspace account that was created to back up The Wire's reporting. Meta did not respond right away. The post that prompted The Wire's investigation was eventually restored byInstagram.
