Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)Today, on MISSING, we examine the subject of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). On this episode, we have Sebastian Edassery, the Director & Chief Security Officer at Deloitte, South Asia, who is also associated with organisations like Interpol, the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC), and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and Dr. Debarati Halder, an advocate, award winning author, speaker, cyber crime victim counsellor and professor of law. They explain what CSAM actually is, share first-hand experiences, discuss legal provisions for CSAM-related crimes, question whether India is the CSAM capital of the world or not, and advise what families, schools, the judiciary, and law enforcement can do to make the internet a safer place for children.
