Meta Platforms today revealed plans to transmit child‑safety information straight to Indian regulatory bodies. This change will replace the current arrangement that channels data through the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Under the existing system, the U.S. centre collects India‑specific reports of child sexual abuse material and forwards them to the National Crime Records Bureau. The new approach eliminates the intermediary.
The direct line is expected to reduce delays in reporting and enable faster law‑enforcement response to child‑abuse cases across the country.
The move comes as part of broader efforts by tech firms to enhance child protection and comply with local regulations. Meta has not yet disclosed the exact technical details of the data transfer.
