India Considers Social Media Curb for Kids

India Considers Social Media Curb for Kids

The Indian government is talking to different groups about how to make social media safer for kids.

They are looking at what other countries like Australia and some European nations are doing.

Australia has a law that stops children under 16 from using social media, and India is thinking about doing something similar.

The government wants to protect kids from things like cyberbullying and too much time online.

They are still discussing and have not made a final decision yet.

Tech companies and free speech groups might not agree with these ideas, but the government thinks it's important to keep kids safe online.
