Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw says social media needs to do more to protect children online.
He is pushing for clearer algorithms and faster action against harmful content, especially since the Supreme Court just recognized internet access as a basic right for children.
Supreme Court orders child abuse database
The Supreme Court has ordered a national database to help spot and remove abusive material involving minors, responding to growing concerns about online child exploitation.
Vaishnaw also pointed out that social platforms need better ways for people to report problems, so users aren't left relying only on police or courts.
