Child protection panel to probe Meta over sexual content: Report
NCPCR launches an inquiry into alleged CSEAM advertisements on Meta platforms after the BBC Eye report and the company's response.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has decided to investigate Meta Platforms, Inc. over alleged advertisements involving Child Sexual Exploitative and Abuse Material (CSEAM) on its platforms. The child rights body had earlier sought an explanation from the company following a media report by BBC Eye. Meta responded and submitted its reply a week later.
The government will raise issues such as lapses in tackling CSAM and wrongful action on prominent accounts during the upcoming meeting with Meta's global team. Meta's global team will be in India on August 5 and 6. There have been demands for a personal apology by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, following the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook reel addressing India's youth.
