Meta faces backlash as verified users locked out without warning: Subscribers say paid support offers ‘No real help'
Meta Platforms is once again under fire as users across Facebook and Instagram report being locked out of their accounts without warning, including those subscribed to the company's premium Meta Verified service. Despite paying for features like direct account support, users say they've been met with silence, broken links and automated replies that offer little to no help. A recent TechCrunch report has highlighted growing frustration among Meta Verified subscribers who are facing sudden account suspensions with no explanation or recourse. The issue appears to be widespread, affecting not just individual profiles but also Facebook Groups, business pages, and long-standing messaging histories. You may be interested in Meta Verified, which costs $14.99 per month in the United States (around Rs. 1,300) and Rs. 699 in India, promises enhanced visibility and direct support from Meta representatives. But users say that in practice, these assurances amount to nothing more than empty promises. Many users have reportedly labelled the support experience as 'useless,' pointing out that no real human help is available and that appeals are either ignored or redirected to malfunctioning webpages. The report suggests that Meta has issued a vague apology for Instagram-related issues and attributed Facebook Group bans to a 'technical error'. The core problem appears to lie in the company's AI-based moderation systems. Media reports hint that users and observers believe that overly aggressive algorithms are flagging legitimate content as violations, leading to widespread and unjustified account removals. It is noteworthy that the consequences have been severe, particularly for small businesses and creators who rely on Meta's platforms for outreach and communication. Some users report losing years' worth of personal messages, content, and client interactions. Calls for accountability are growing. A petition demanding that Meta fix its AI moderation tools and restore affected accounts has already garnered over 25,000 signatures.

Madhav Sheth's NxtQuantum aims to build a global brand from India, starts with affordable AI+ smartphones
Madhav Sheth is launching the AI+ smartphones in India and plans to capture the entry-level market space. Initially, it is eyeing to capture 2-3 per cent of the total smartphone market in India, which currently stands at 150 to 160 million handsets a year, Madhav Sheth, founder & CEO of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, told ETRetail. Sheth is planning to build a global brand from India. "At present, in terms of marketing and functionality, there are 4-5 dominant brands offering products in India, but many of them are essentially backed by the same family or ecosystem. So, ideally, it is a monopolistic or duopolistic market," he stated. He said, around 80 per cent market share is controlled by, and out of that, one group alone controls more than 65 to 70 per cent market share. So, we saw the opportunity to break that monopoly. "Secondly, there is a clear purpose here. Most products have been designed for other markets and simply brought to India. There has always been overlapping specs or features, assuming demand would follow, because India is seen as a consumption economy. However, I believe the real base of 2G users in India wants to move to smartphones, and even many 4G users still do not have good options at the entry-level," he further added. The brand is launching 2 models - Pulse and Nova 5G - in five colors, starting from Rs 5,000 onwards. "We are sharp on pricing. We prefer a direct-to-retail model over multilayered distribution, which involves incentivizing middlemen and setting up expensive promotion structures. We have started with our website, where retailers can participate directly, and we will supply to them from the brand itself," he asserted. The brand is launching through 10,000 retailers directly. It will also have online exclusives through Flipkart and other platforms. Initially, it is eyeing 70 per cent of its revenue to be contributed by online channels and the remaining 30 per cent to come from offline channels. "However, that could shift as we build offline distribution," he said. After these two phones, it will be launching more ecosystem products and two more phones this year. Highlighting the other revenue models, he said, "The hardware is being commoditized. The bigger vision is software and OS - especially with a focus on data privacy. We are also launching an App Store and building a complete monetization ecosystem around the OS." "Initially, the revenue split will be 70 per cent hardware and 30 per cent services. Over time, we expect a 50-50 split," he further added. The brand, which has spent $9-10 million in R&D, will be designing and manufacturing the products in India as it has developed its own OS, firewalls, data encryption, etc, in the country itself. "Even the core servers from Google are based here in Delhi and Mumbai," he said. "We have partnered with a manufacturer and have set up a facility in Noida with 12-16 assembly lines. The capacity of the unit stands at 12,000 to 15,000 units per day, and currently, we are using about 8,000 to 10,000 units daily," he explained. The brand, which plans to play the economies-of-scale game, has already booked orders of 2 million units, amounting to Rs 1,450 crore. "We are already operating at a very tight margin of around 5 per cent and going ahead, we plan to build a global brand from India," he asserted. By the end of this fiscal year, the brand plans to foray into at least 7-8 South Asian countries.

Is India's Rs 1 trillion RDI scheme inspired by China's Thousand Talents Plan? Not quite
In order to revitalise India's R&D ecosystem, the government has cleared the Rs 1 lakh crore Research Development and Innovation (RDI) Scheme. The policy aims to inject much-needed capital into deep-tech sectors and strategic industries, primarily by offering startups and private players long-tenure, low-interest loans and equity details of the initiative emerged, comparisons began to surface. Most notably with China's controversial Thousand Talents Plan (TTP) (launched in 2008). That programme was Beijing's ambitious bid to bring home its brightest minds from across the globe. So, is India now trying to emulate China's Plan?advertisementNot quite. And the difference is more than cosmetic. 'The Rs. 1-trillion RDI scheme is a welcome move, but it's not cut from the same cloth as China's Thousand Talents Plan,' says Srinath Sridharan, Corporate Advisor & Independent Director on Corporate Boards. 'It's a financial intervention, not a people strategy.'China's TTP was designed with the aim of reversing brain drain. It dangled lucrative incentives, including research autonomy, leadership posts, lab funding, and generous salaries, to draw back Chinese-origin scientists, engineers, and tech entrepreneurs from elite institutions programme placed many of them directly into leadership roles in high-tech firms, especially in fields like AI, genomics, and quantum new scheme, by contrast, takes a different tack. There's no direct outreach to diaspora talent. No talk of any central mechanism to attract returning scientists. No coordinated effort is being made to fast-track them into institutions or give them decision-making authority in national R&D not about repatriating talent,' Sridharan argues. It's about unlocking capital to stimulate innovation at home. That's a fundamentally different design.'TWO MODELS, TWO MINDSETSWhere China's approach was centrally planned and state-directed, India's RDI scheme is built around market forces. The expectation is that funding will enable private players to take more risks in R&D-heavy companies (aka the sunrise sectors) — health tech, semiconductors, green energy — areas where returns are uncertain and therein lies the rub.'Innovation doesn't emerge from capital alone,' Sridharan cautions. 'It needs minds... motivated, skilled, and empowered minds.'For India to consider shifting from brain drain to brain gain, we need more than just a funding mechanism. What's missing (and much-needed) is a long-term vision that connects all three: talent, infrastructure, and does one get there? First, by creating globally competitive research institutions with operational autonomy; second, ensuring urban ecosystems that can support the lifestyle, career, and educational expectations of those returning scientists; third, cutting the red tape that may end up slowing down or stifling scientific exploration; and above all, articulating a clear national innovation agenda with SUCCESS AND FALLOUTIt is true that China's TTP came with serious baggage. On the one hand, the Plan succeeded in attracting thousands of top-tier researchers and repositioned Beijing as a serious tech player. But it also triggered geopolitical concerns, especially in the U.S., where several scientists who were affiliated with the programme were accused of failing to disclose Chinese ties or funding. The Plan even led to investigations, terminations, and, in some cases, even criminal 2022, under international pressure and domestic recalibration, Beijing hurriedly retired the original TTP. Although some elements of it live on in other points out that India doesn't need to replicate the Chinese model as it were. But there's a lesson there for us: 'China got it right that talent follows purpose. If your system signals seriousness, autonomy, and ambition, top talent will pay attention.'THE ROAD AHEADIndia's RDI scheme has laid the financial groundwork. But unless there's an equally compelling plan to mobilise human capital both domestically and globally, the country could end up with capital-rich labs and boardrooms but a scarcity of scientific like building a space rocket and forgetting to train the astronauts. You can get off the ground, but not go India hopes to lead in frontier innovation by 2047, it must think beyond money. It must craft a story bold enough to bring its brightest minds home not just to participate, but to lead.- Ends advertisement
