Meta is stepping up efforts to prevent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) from spreading or reappearing on its platforms amid discussions with MeitY. The government has stressed compliance with Indian laws and warned that platforms could lose safe harbour protection for violations. Officials said the focus is regulation and user safety, not censorship.
New Delhi: US-based technology firm Meta is intensifying efforts to curb the spread and reappearance of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) across its platforms amid ongoing discussions with the government, according to a report.
NDTV Profit reported that the engagement between the social media company and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has focused on Meta’s handling of illegal content and the broader responsibility of digital platforms to prevent harmful material from resurfacing after it has been identified and removed.
The tech company is taking steps to address the proliferation of such content and remains particularly cautious because CSAM constitutes a clear violation of Indian law, it added.
In addition, the company is also working to tackle instances where previously flagged material reappears on its platforms.
