Meta to report suspected CSAM directly to India’s I4C cybercrime portal

New Delhi, Delhi15 Sept 2026

Meta said it will begin reporting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and related child-safety matters directly to the cybercrime portal managed by India’s Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), instead of reporting via the US-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The change was reported as taking effect from Tuesday, per Meta’s statement cited in the article.

Why it matters

Direct reporting to Indian law enforcement can shorten response times for investigations into online child exploitation involving Meta platforms in India.
