To deal with cybercrimes such as financial frauds, circulation of communal and pornographic contents, the Union Home Ministry is planning to set up an apex coordination centre and has asked states to establish a similar mechanism in every district.
The apex centre — Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C)—would be set up in Delhi.
It would coordinate with State governments and Union Territories, and closely monitor the cyberspace and social media with due emphasis on vernacular content.
The centre would also block those websites which flout India’s laws and circulate child porn, and communally and racially sensitive content.
