NCPCR Summons Meta India Head Over Alleged Child Sexual Abuse Advertisements on Instagram
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has summoned Meta India's Managing Director Arun Srinivas on September 9 to investigate allegations of advertisements promoting Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (CSEAM) on Instagram. This follows a BBC Eye report and Meta's response, which the NCPCR found inadequate. The inquiry aims to examine Meta's policies and actions on child safety. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also directed Delhi Police to probe the matter and assess compliance with the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
