New Delhi: The Cyber Cell of Delhi Police on Tuesday lodged an FIR against Twitter based on a complaint it received from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) last month. The case has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and IT Act.
On May 29, the NCPCR had filed a complaint against the micro-blogging platform for providing misinformation and violating POCSO Act, after an inquiry found child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on the site, News 18 reported.
In an interview with ANI, NCPCR chief Priyank Kanoongo had said, “Complaint filed against Twitter for providing misinformation and violating POCSO Act, FIR registered. We’ve written to Centre that children shouldn’t be given access to Twitter till the platform isn’t safe for them.”
In a letter dated June 26, the NCPCR asked Delhi Police to book Twitter under relevant sections of the IT Act and IPC.
