Andhra Pradesh Considers Social Media Ban for Under-16s

The government in Andhra Pradesh, India, is thinking about stopping children under 16 from using social media.

They want to protect kids from seeing bad or confusing things online.

The idea came from a similar law in Australia.

Some people, like a government spokesperson and a privacy expert, think it's a good idea.

They say kids might not understand what they see on social media and could get upset or see things that aren't good for them.

The government also says they will work with the national government to make this happen.

They also mentioned that they have taken action against people who were mean to women online in the past.

Some people might not like this idea because they think kids should have the right to use social media and learn how to be safe online.
