Meta to directly report child safety cases to India's cybercrime portal
NEW DELHI: Meta has agreed to directly report child safety-related cases in India to the cybercrime portal managed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). The development comes amid growing scrutiny of social media platforms by the Indian government over child sexual abuse material (CSAM), deepfakes and other harmful content.
“Protecting children on our platforms is a priority for the company,” a Meta spokesperson said, adding that the company was committed to working with the government to ensure perpetrators were held responsible.
“To collectively strengthen our efforts to combat this harm, Meta will now report child safety matters directly to the cybercrime portal managed by I4C,” the spokesperson said.
