The Indian government has directed Meta to immediately remove advertisements and content on Instagram that allegedly promote or facilitate child sexual abuse material.
Authorities have issued a notice seeking a detailed explanation from Meta on how such advertisements were allowed to appear on the platform. Meta says it maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse material and is continuing to strengthen its detection systems using advanced technology.
