Government Eyes Nuanced Social Media Curbs for Minors
New Delhi – The central government is reportedly not in favor of a blanket social media ban for children. Instead, sources indicate a graded approach with varying restrictions based on age is under consideration.
- Age Brackets: Restrictions will likely be tailored for 8-12, 12-16, and 16-18 year old age groups.
- Legislation: A separate law is being drafted, potentially introduced in the monsoon session of Parliament.
- Focus: Restrictions, not a total ban, are preferred, acknowledging the digital awareness of younger generations.
- Consultation: The government intends to have public consultations before finalizing the law.
