The platform allows people to only submit a hash - rather than the intimate image or video itself - to NCMEC. To battle this issue and take back control of their intimate images, young people can go to to submit a case that will proactively search for their intimate images on participating apps. This can be even more traumatizing for young people when someone tries to misuse those images. When someone is subjected to the spread of their non-consensual images, their experience online can be scary and overwhelming. Take It Down is a new platform to prevent young people’s intimate images from being posted online in the future. Take It Down Tackles Non-Consensual Images of Young PeopleĪs part of Meta’s support to NCMEC, Take It Down will soon be available in Hindi and several other Indian languages. Smriti Z Irani, Union Minister for Women and Child Development I would also encourage companies like Meta to come forward and partner with the government agencies directly and responsibly on issues of women and child safety and mental health.
I would urge them to expand this important discussion to smaller cities of India – ensuring women and youth from every corner of the country feel safe to express themselves online and reap the benefits of the digital revolution that is sweeping the country today. It is important that companies like Meta align with the government’s vision to keep people, especially women and youth, safe online. We also announced a new platform Take It Down, created by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) with Meta’s support, to help young people tackle the issues of non-consensual intimate images.ĭuring the summit, Smriti Irani participated in a fireside chat with Antigone Davis, Meta’s Vice President Global Head of Safety and Sandhya Devanathan, Vice President for Meta in India. The summit was attended by Smriti Z Irani, Honourable Minister for Women and Child Development along with various creators, psychologists, educators, CSO partners and members of parenting communities.
We took another step forward in our endeavor to create a safer and inclusive internet by hosting our Digital Suraksha Summit. On Safer Internet Day 2023, we launched the first phase of our #DigitalSuraksha campaign. Over the past several years, we’ve developed several tools and taken various initiatives to provide a safer online experience for teens and families. Keeping youth and women safe on our apps has always been our priority.
