Meta to provide child-safety information directly to Indian agencies
Meta is set to share child-safety information directly with Indian agencies, The Hindu reports. Previously, the information was sent to a US organisation, which then forwarded India-specific reports involving child sexual abuse material to India’s National Crime Records Bureau.
Meta will share child-safety information directly with Indian agencies, according to The Hindu. The information had previously been shared with the US-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. That organisation, in turn, passed India-specific reports concerning child sexual abuse material to India’s National Crime Records Bureau.
The change described in the supplied material would alter the route through which the information reaches Indian authorities. It does not specify when direct sharing will begin, which Indian agencies will receive the material, or what categories of information will be covered. The source also does not provide figures for the reports involved, details of any agreement, or comments from Meta, the Indian agencies or the US organisation.
