Top Meta India officials appear again before child rights body in sexual abuse material case
Those who appeared before the child rights panel included Meta India chief Arun Srinivas. While coming out, he didn't reply to repeated media queries on what transpired in the meeting.
On Wednesday, Meta India executives, including Arun Srinivas, the company's chief, returned before the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) for a second consecutive day regarding alleged Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (CSEAM) advertisements. Srinivas, however, declined to comment on the meeting with media.
The NCPCR also summoned a senior Capgemini official separately in connection with alleged child abuse at a day-care in Bengaluru. On September 9, the NCPCR summoned Meta India's managing director and head. The NCPCR took action following a BBC Eye report revealing ads promoting CSEAM on Meta's platforms. Meta has committed to reporting child safety matters directly to India's cybercrime portal managed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), a move not previously seen from the company.
