ALPHABET INC-CL A agreed on Monday afternoon to report child sexual abuse material directly to India authorities, shifting away from a global routing practice. The policy change mirrors a similar move by META PLATFORMS INC-CLASS A last week following pressure from regulators. Direct reporting aims to accelerate police intervention by bypassing traditional intermediaries in the United States that officials argued delayed critical investigations.
