Report: India's laws miss platform design risks to children

A NALSAR University of Law and IGAP report says India's laws target harmful content and CSEAM but lack a framework for platform design risks like recommendation systems and engagement features. It urges a safety-by-design child safety framework, while DPDP Act child provisions take effect on May 13, 2027.

• Indian law covers CSEAM and content, not platform design
• DPDP Act child provisions take effect on May 13, 2027
• Sahyog portal lacks reporting and joint investigation tools
• Report urges safety-by-design and child rights impact assessments
