Child Pornographic Content

The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police on Tuesday said it has blocked 23 accounts on Twitter for showing child pornographic content.

Two brothers have been arrested for allegedly uploading child pornographic content on a video platform, the Maharashtra police said on Wednesday.

To prevent sexual abuse of children and contain access to and transmission of child pornographic content on social media, a Rajya Sabha panel has made 40 recommendations, including making monitoring apps mandatory on all devices and amending the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Information Technology Act.

Tumblr on Monday said it is banning adult content from the Yahoo-owned blogging platform, which saw its app pulled from Apple's App Store last month over child pornography.

A government toll-free number for reporting child sexual assault cases has been deactivated temporarily after it appeared in pornographic content search, and calls seeking sexual services were received, a senior official working in the department said.

Disturbing content made it to the chat group 'Poombatta' on the Telegram messaging app, where pornographic videos specifically involving children were shared by the users. The group was closed on November 28 after certain details were leaked online.

The agony Deonte Carraway secretly inflicted on the families of the children he sexually abused or exploited was out in the open Thursday morning, when the former elementary school aide and community choir director was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

The government told the court that it would file a status report on the steps taken by it to curb child pornography.

The Centre today told the Supreme Court that it is taking steps to deal with the issue of child pornography in its entirety and around 3,500 websites hosting such content have been blocked last month.

The country's first-ever hotline to curb sexual abuse of children through the internet and to remove child pornographic content online is set to be unveiled next week.

Even as the government has said Internet Service Providers were free not to block any of the 857 websites suspected for pornographic content unless they were abusive of children, the industry body of the ISPs said on Wednesday that the directive was "vague and unimplementable".

The government has, amid public uproar, revoked an order that blocked hundreds of pornographic websites, but its decision has left many confused - including telcoms.

Supreme Court today issued a notice to the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) seeking its response as to how to block websites with pornographic content in the country.

Will Heum, accused of sexually abusing children and posting child pornographic content on the web will not walk out of the Chennai Prison on Thursday.
