Complying with SC’s Pocso ruling may be hard for social media firms

The SC judgment mandates intermediaries to report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to local authorities under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. However, intermediaries based in the US typically report to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), as they are restricted by US laws from sharing this data with foreign law enforcement.
