The Indian government has directed Meta Platforms to immediately remove Instagram advertisements found promoting or linking to child sexual abuse content. The action followed an investigation that uncovered disturbing ads appearing on the platform, raising serious concerns about online child safety and content moderation. Authorities have sought an explanation from Meta on how such advertisements were approved and displayed despite existing safeguards. The government stressed that digital platforms must comply with Indian laws and strengthen monitoring systems to prevent the spread of illegal and exploitative content, warning that strict action could follow if violations continue.
