Supreme Court Reviews Compliance and Preventive Measures on Online Child Sexual Abuse Content
The Supreme Court of India is addressing the issue of online child sexual exploitation and abuse material (CSEAM). Despite a 2024 ruling mandating social media platforms to report such content to Special Juvenile Police Units (SJPUs) or local police, compliance remains pending. The Centre has submitted a draft Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for intermediaries to prevent, remove, and report CSEAM, developed with multiple ministries. The court emphasized the seriousness of the matter and will issue further orders after reviewing the SOP and preventive measures.
