It is a first step towards making the platforms safe for children, and much more needs to be done,\u201d government sources told ANI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The government is also engaging with other platforms to ensure they proactively identify and remove harmful content, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sources said.
