Meta Links Child Safety Reporting Directly to Indian Cyber Portal

Direct Reporting

Meta has agreed to report child safety cases directly to the official cybercrime portal managed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, known as I4C. This move by the parent company of Facebook and Instagram comes as the Indian government ramps up its crackdown on online child sexual abuse material and related safety violations.

Official Action

The direct reporting mechanism aims to speed up how law enforcement agencies in India receive alerts about harmful content. Authorities can now track and investigate these cases faster through the centralized portal, cutting down delays in digital evidence sharing.
