India demands stronger safeguards against child sexual abuse material on Meta platforms

The government reiterated its zero‑tolerance stance on child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and warned that any presence of such content on digital services constitutes a serious violation of existing regulations. Officials expect Meta to deploy more powerful detection mechanisms and to act swiftly in removing illegal material. Mere assurances are no longer sufficient; the ministries called for concrete actions, including regular reporting, audits and collaboration with law‑enforcement agencies to curb the spread of CSAM.
