A POCSO court sentenced a couple to death for abusing 33 minor boys, saying they lured children from poor families with money and gadgets, and shared explicit videos, photos online.
SC bench said POCSO Section 15 would apply in cases where sexually explicit content involving children is found in possession of person who has 'invariable degree of control' over it.
With its judgment, the two-judge bench set aside a Madras HC order quashing criminal proceedings against a man accused of downloading pornography involving children.
Child rights body noted that the platforms seemed to have ‘failed’ in obligation under Section 19 of POCSO Act that makes it mandatory for any person/body to report offences under Act.
A report submitted by SC-appointed committee says social media platforms will provide and prominently display links for reporting objectionable content & assist law enforcement agencies.
The crackdown, called operation 'Masoom', is based on information from National Crime Records Bureau, which has a tie-up with a US non-profit organisation to flag such content.
