Facebook said on Tuesday it recognises Indian government's interest in minimising the amount of abusive content online, and it will remove any content violating its terms.
"We will remove any content that violates our terms, which are designed to keep material that is hateful, threatening, incites violence or contains nudity off the service," Facebook said in a statement.
