Facebook pushes for online safety of children with new initiative

Social media giant Facebook on Tuesday launched a new initiative that encourages people to report child abuse content on its platforms and not to share it.

The initiative ‘Report it, don’t share it’ is in collaboration with civil society organisations like Aarambh India Initiative, Cyber Peace Foundation and Arpan.

The initiative was rolled out with an animated video which visually communicates the negative impact that the circulation of child abuse content could have on the child who’s the subject of such content, even if it’s about condemning the act.

“We want to foster a safe and supportive environment on Facebook and Instagram and we’re constantly working towards that.
