Social media platforms are expected to strictly follow prescribed standard operating procedures (SOPs) while dealing with child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including timely reporting, coordination with law enforcement agencies and working through designated bodies such as the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), according to Aabhas Sharma’s TOI report. The Times of India reported.
According to the report, government officials said compliance with these procedures is a key responsibility for intermediaries operating in India and that any lapses would invite action under the applicable legal framework.
