India Seeks Data-Sharing Agreement with US to Strengthen CSAM Investigations
India is considering a formal data-sharing agreement with the United States to enhance investigations into online child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Currently, US social media platforms report suspected CSAM only to the US-based National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), citing US legal restrictions. This practice has caused delays in sharing information with Indian authorities, prompting experts to call for improved collaboration and metadata sharing between platforms, NCMEC, and India's Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C).
