Murty Urges Social Media Norms for Children
Sudha Murty, a member of the Rajya Sabha, spoke about how children are shown on social media.
She said that many parents put their children on social media to get followers and money, but this can hurt the children.
They might lose their innocence and not learn important things like education and sports.
Murty wants the government to make rules, just like they have for advertisements and movies, to protect children on social media.
She thinks this will help raise children in a good way.
She also mentioned that children are our future, and we should develop our children in a good value system, good education, sports and many other activities.
Sudha Murty urged the government to set norms on the portrayal of children on social media platforms.
She expressed concern about the impact of social media on children's psychology and innocence.
Parents often expose children to different costumes and commercialization for financial gain.
Murty compared the lack of regulations on social media to existing rules in advertisements and the film industry.
She warned that without regulations, this could cause long-term problems for children.
