Supreme Court Gives Centre Final Chance to Report on CSEAM Measures by Social Media
The Supreme Court on September 24 granted the central government a final opportunity to file a counter affidavit and action-taken report on implementing its September 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. Additional Solicitor General KM Nataraj assured the court that the government is taking the matter seriously and has initiated proceedings against one company. The court also requested details on safeguards to prevent future lapses.
