Meta Agrees to Report Child Sexual Abuse Cases to Indian Law Enforcement AgenciesPreviousNext

Meta has agreed to report child sexual abuse and related child safety cases directly to Indian law enforcement agencies, marking a first step in enhancing online child protection. This follows government pressure amid concerns over harmful content on Meta platforms, including Instagram. The Indian government emphasized that child safety online is a fundamental, non-negotiable principle and is engaging with other social media companies to proactively identify and remove such content. Authorities warned of action against platforms failing to ensure children's safety.
