IT Ministry summons Meta over child abuse ads on Instagram in India
According to a PTI report, Meta is prohibited from using the 'third-party content' defense after being summoned by the IT Ministry regarding advertisements for child sexual abuse on Instagram in India. These ads were initially exposed by a BBC investigation, revealing a link to a Telegram channel that sold videos for ₹99. An official source informed PTI that if these claims are proven accurate, Meta will face accountability for the advertisements, especially since the company generates revenue from them.
