Supreme Court Gives Centre Final Chance to Report Measures Against Online Child Abuse Material
The Supreme Court has granted the central government a final opportunity to file a report detailing steps taken to implement its 2024 judgment requiring social media intermediaries to report Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (CSEAM). The court expressed concern over the ministries of Electronics and Information Technology and Law and Justice failing to submit responses despite earlier orders. The government, represented by Additional Solicitor General KM Nataraj, stated it is taking the issue seriously and has initiated proceedings against one company. The court seeks details on measures to prevent circulation of CSEAM and safeguards against future lapses.
