Tech giant Meta and online gaming platform Roblox have agreed to strengthen their child safety measures following meetings with Philippine cybersecurity officials. Meta has committed to be more proactive in removing harmful artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes on its online platforms. The company also agreed to provide the credentials and data of users involved in online sexual abuse and exploitation of children, child sexual abuse and exploitation materials, obscene content and online abuse. For its part, Roblox has vowed to integrate its user verification prods with the Philippine Identification or national ID system and establish a local office in the Philippines by October this year, which are the two remaining conditions the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has set so it can continue operations in the country. Do you think that tech companies compromise on security for profits ?
