Andhra Pradesh Considers Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Andhra Pradesh, a state in India, is thinking about making a rule to stop children under 16 from using social media.

This is similar to a law in Australia.

The minister in charge of technology, Nara Lokesh, thinks young people might not understand what they see on social media.

India already has some controls for parents to manage their children's access, but there hasn't been a big ban yet.

Some people think it might be hard to enforce such a ban because kids can find ways around it.

Other countries are also trying to make rules for social media.

Andhra Pradesh is known for being good with technology and has big plans to grow its economy.
