Meta to report child sexual abuse cases to Indian authorities: sources
This comes after the Indian government held regular meetings with Meta on technical measures since last month when Meta’s global executives were summoned to India over a host of issues, including the spread of child abuse content online.
Meta platforms has reached an agreement to report child sexual abuse cases to law enforcement agencies, according to government sources. This move is seen as a crucial first step towards enhancing child safety on digital platforms, though more actions are needed for comprehensive protection. The government is actively collaborating with other social media platforms to swiftly identify and eliminate harmful content.
It has also pledged to impose strict measures against platforms that fail to implement proactive safety protocols for children online. The government's commitment to holding digital platforms accountable for preventing the dissemination of harmful content, particularly content that impacts children, remains strong.
