Meta Platforms, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, announced on 15 September 2026 that it will report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) cases directly to India's Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) portal, which functions under the Union Home Ministry. Previously, such reports reached Indian agencies only indirectly, through the US based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which shared India specific cases with the National Crime Records Bureau under a 2019 arrangement. The announcement follows weeks of scrutiny of Meta by the Centre and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights over CSAM appearing in paid advertisements on Instagram.
