Supreme Court calls for a framework built around ‘Prevention by Design’

Today, Just Rights for Children Founder @Bhuwan_Ribhu appeared before the Court, arguing for effective implementation of the law and accountability of social media intermediaries.

The Court asked the Centre to consider measures to prevent Child Sexual Exploitative and Abuse Material (CSEAM) from appearing online in the first place.

HERE'S WHAT THIS MEANS

#PreventionByDesign #ChildRights #CSEAM

Delhi: Bhuwan Ribhu, Founder of Just Rights for Children, says, "Today, the Supreme Court of India has directed its old Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitative Material Direction, further strengthening the safety of children, to the government, to frame this guideline within two weeks, that not only all social media companies in India will report this kind of material, but will make such a framework, We will make sure that there is no such platform and that children can be saved before that. So today, the court focused on saving and directed the government to make a framework of this in two weeks and submit it to the court. The court focused on how to save children from such harmful substances and how to report this to the police and the government in India...."

Landed in #NewYork.

I come here carrying the hopes, prayers and determination of millions who believe that no child should ever be married.

On 4 September, the United Nations @UN will consider the resolution to designate 27 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage.

What began as a call for a #ChildMarriageFreeWorld is now before the world.

The next few days are about every child’s right to freedom, dignity and a future where they can realise their full potential.

It is heartening to see children’s #digitalsafety becoming a priority in Parliament and gaining momentum across party lines. The #MPsforChildrenForum, led by Convenor @SriKrishnaLavu ji, has consistently called for age-appropriate social media restrictions, effective age verification and stronger platform accountability.

Platforms operating in India must comply with Indian law, including reporting child sexual abuse and exploitation material to Indian authorities. Now is the time for #PreventionbyDesign. Child safety must be built into technology, platforms and law from the outset. @JustRightsIndia https://t.co/6ev1eolxBj

#WATCH | Delhi: On social media and child pornography issue, Advocate HS Phoolka says, "... The issue which is going on very prominently these days is that Instagram is promoting the videos of child sexual abuse. On 23rd September 2024, the Supreme Court gave a landmark judgment, Just Rights for Children Alliance versus State of Tamil Nadu. In the judgment, the Supreme Court has clearly said that the social media platforms which are allowing these videos to run should immediately stop them; not only stop the video, but they should also give the information to the police so that action can be taken under the POCSO Act against the person who has downloaded these videos and who has uploaded these videos also. And let me tell you, under this judgment, not only uploading the video is an offence, but downloading and seeing this video is also an offence. This was a case in Tamil Nadu. There is a young boy who had downloaded the child sexual abuse videos and was watching them, and now this is being posted. All the people who are using social media should know that it is being posted by many organisations. One of them is NCMEC in America. All those people who are downloading and watching child sexual abuse photos, they are immediately—the NCMEC learn about it, comes to know about it, and passes on the information to the Government of India, and criminal cases are started against the person who is downloading and watching such cases. The Supreme Court has passed a judgment, and the Supreme Court has said that anybody downloading or watching the child sexual abuse video, he is also liable for imprisonment under the POCSO Act. And the Supreme Court also, in the judgment, has said the intermediary is responsible not only to stop this video but also to inform the police. And if the intermediary does not inform the police, that is, a social media platform does not inform the police, then the social media platform is liable to be prosecuted. Criminal cases should be lodged against the social media platform under the POCSO Act. And in this case, in the Instagram case, not only do they stop the videos, they promote the videos, and they also file an application day-to-day in the Supreme Court. The directions of the Supreme Court are not being followed. In our application, the Supreme Court has issued notice to the Union of India, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and Ministry of Law."
