India orders Meta to remove ads promoting child sexual abuse
"The government has issued a stern notice to Meta over child sexual exploitative and abuse material appearing in paid advertisements on Instagram," a senior official in India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology told the BBC.
On being asked about the government's notice, a Meta spokesperson said the company has "a zero-tolerance policy for soliciting or sharing" child sexual abuse material, including in ads.
It comes after a BBC Eye investigation found that Instagram has been running paid adverts promoting child sexual abuse material in India, some of which linked users to Telegram channels where the material was offered for sale.
