New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Swati Maliwal on Tuesday sent notices to Delhi Police and Twitter over child pornography and its trade on the microblogging site. She said some related videos were sold for Rs 20 on Twitter, adding the social media platform failed to delete the posts.
Maliwal said Twitter and the Delhi Police have been given time till September 26 to respond to the summonses.
“Thousands of people have shared recordings of young girls being raped. Videos of women bathing are being put through intelligence cameras. These companies follow laws abroad and turn a blind eye to the obscenity and rape of women in India,” Maliwal wrote on Twitter.
She said that she had questioned Twitter on how such videos exist on the platform and what policies it had in place to screen content. Maliwal asked the Delhi Police to register an FIR to identify those involved in filming and uploading such videos as well as the victims and the accused.
“The Chandigarh University incident set me thinking and I asked my team to investigate. We found videos of minor girls on Twitter in which they were seen being raped. Some of the platforms were even selling these videos for ₹20 to ₹30. This is horrific,” Maliwal further said.
