Tech Giants Warned: Remove Child Sexual Abuse Material or Face Consequences

The Indian government has issued notices to social media platforms X (formerly known as Twitter), YouTube, and Telegram, demanding the removal of any child sexual abuse material from their platforms. Failure to comply could result in the companies losing their protection from legal liability. The government emphasized the importance of prompt and permanent removal of such content and stated that consequences under Indian law would follow if the platforms do not act swiftly. The notices also called for measures like content moderation algorithms and reporting mechanisms to prevent the dissemination of child sexual abuse material in the future.
