Though online transmission of CSAM and rape videos can be reported on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), practical complications make the process redundant, says the study. “A standard operating procedure in handling such cases by the government and the mandatory report-CSAM button and a user-to-platform and platform-to-regulator reporting channel need to be implemented by the social media platforms. These, among other measures, would make a difference,” says Nitish, Manager (Technology), Law and Policy Research Group.
