Meta announced a fresh set of measures to combat child exploitation across its platforms, days after the Indian government issued a notice. The tech giant has been working closely with governments and experts to address the issue.

The new measures include implementing stricter age verification processes for users, increasing transparency around content moderation, and providing more resources for parents and caregivers to help them monitor their children’s online activity. Meta also plans to expand its use of AI-powered tools to detect and remove harmful content.

According to the company, the new measures are designed to be both proactive and collaborative, working with governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to prevent child exploitation on its platforms.

In a statement, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "We recognize that our work is not done, and we will continue to work with governments and experts around the world to find solutions to this complex problem. We are committed to creating a safe and respectful community for everyone, including children,"

The Indian government’s notice was seen as a response to growing concerns over child exploitation on social media platforms in India. The move is part of a larger effort by the government to regulate online content and protect children from harm.

Meta’s new measures are also in line with the company’s existing policies for protecting children’s privacy and safety. However, the move has been welcomed by experts who say that more needs to be done to address the issue.

The company has faced criticism in the past over its handling of child exploitation on its platforms. In recent months, Meta has made efforts to improve its moderation processes and increase transparency around its content removal policies.

As part of its commitment to addressing child exploitation, Meta has also established a new task force with experts from government agencies and NGOs. The task force is focused on identifying and removing harmful content, as well as providing support to victims of online abuse.

The company’s efforts to combat child exploitation are ongoing, and Meta plans to continue working closely with governments and experts to address the issue.
