Child safety ‘non-negotiable’: Meta agrees to report sexual abuse cases to law enforcement, Centre says

Meta has agreed to report child safety-related matters to appropriate law enforcement agencies, government sources said on Tuesday, asserting that online safety of children is a “fundamental principle” for any social media platform operating in India and absolutely “non-negotiable”.

The government will take action against platforms that fail to take proactive steps to ensure children’s safety online, the sources said, underlining its tough stance on platforms’ responsibility to protect minors from harmful content and activity.
