India’s IT Minister Orders MeitY to Summon Meta Over Instagram CSAM Ads

India’s IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has directed MeitY to summon Meta after a BBC investigation found paid ads promoting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on Instagram India. Roughly 30 adverts with explicit terms like “rape video” linked users to Telegram channels selling abuse content. Many cleared automated moderation before being flagged. Meta said it removed the ads, disabled related accounts, and blocked violating URLs after being alerted.
