'Meta Said It Has Acted On Child Sexual Content': Government Sources

The presence of paid content linked to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on Instagram has brought the Indian government and Mark Zuckerberg's Meta into a broader discussion on how global social media platforms can strengthen safeguards while complying with Indian law, with officials saying the dialogue between the social media giant and the Centre will continue.  Officials have sought explanations from Meta and stressed that unlawful CSAM content cannot be protected by safe-harbour provisions, while the company has outlined its use of automated systems and human reviewers to detect and act against child exploitation."On CSAM, the position is very clear and unequivocal - if this kind of unlawful content is appearing on the platform, safe harbour cannot be taken for granted," a government official told NDTV."The important thing is to understand what happened, what action was taken and how the recurrence of such content is being addressed.
