Govt issues notice to Meta, orders removal of Instagram ads promoting child sex abuse
The Indian government has issued a stern notice to Meta over the use of child sexual abuse material in advertisements. The tech giant has been ordered to disable all such content and provide a detailed explanation within seven days. The missive came less than a day after the Centre took cognisance of the allegations and decided to summon Meta. The I-T Ministry also issued a notice to Meta over the proposed WhatsApp username feature earlier this week — signalling a widening regulatory focus on the company’s products in India.
