Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Oct. 7-the Indian government says it has sent notices to social media platforms X (Twitter), YouTube and Telegram to ensure that there is no child sexual abuse content on their platforms, Reuters reported. If these companies fail to comply with the rules, they may be deprived of legal liability protection, according to a statement.

"if they do not act quickly, the safe harbor under Article 79 of the Information Technology Act will be revoked and the consequences of Indian law will follow," Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India's deputy minister of information technology, learned from the statement.

The Indian government said Chandra Seka had been a strong advocate for the removal of such content from the Indian Internet and that the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was determined to "build a secure and reliable Internet in accordance with IT rules".

Telegram said its terms of service explicitly prohibit child abuse. "Telegram moderators actively patrol the public parts of the platform and receive user reports to remove content that violates our terms."

A spokesman for YouTube said: "We have a zero tolerance policy for child sexual abuse content. We do not accept content that harms minors in any form." YouTube also said that more than 94000 channels and more than 2.5 million videos were deleted in the third quarter of 2023 for violating child safety policies.

A representative of X didn't respond to a request for comment.
