In order to check online child pornography, government has initiated steps to devise a mechanism to access Interpol’s ‘worst-of-list’ through CBI and disable such content on internet.
The government is also in touch with internet service providers (ISPs) on upgradation of their infrastructure and technology so as to address the shortcomings with regard to identifying and blocking encrypted websites.
“In order to effectively deal with online child pornographic contents, Government has already initiated steps towards devising a mechanism to securely access Interpol’s worst-of-list through Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is the national nodal point for Interpol related activities in the country,” Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.
