news18.com —

India's NCPCR has launched a formal inquiry into Meta over allegations that advertisements linked to child sexual abuse material appeared on its platforms. The fact-finding probe follows a notice issued after a BBC Eye investigation raised concerns. NCPCR will examine how the ads appeared, Meta's content moderation effectiveness, and whether safeguards prevented promotion of illegal content. No findings have been announced yet. The inquiry marks escalating scrutiny of one of the world's largest technology companies over child safety measures on Instagram and other platforms.
