India eyes data-sharing pact with US to tighten CSAM crackdown

To effectively tackle child abuse material investigations, India might require a formal data-sharing agreement with the United States. US social media platforms typically direct reports to NCMEC, adhering to legal limitations. However, delays from NCMEC's CyberTipline in submitting reports to India have sparked debate. Experts propose the temporary sharing of metadata from additional tips. Collaborative dialogues among platforms, NCMEC, and I4C are essential to address these differences.
