India Considers Social Media Ban for Teens

An Indian lawmaker has suggested that children under 16 should not be allowed to use social media.

This idea is part of a bigger discussion happening in many countries about how social media affects young people.

Some countries, like Australia and France, have already started to limit social media access for kids.

The lawmaker says that social media companies are using data from Indian kids without giving anything back.

Big tech companies like Meta and YouTube have not said much about this idea yet.

The Indian government is also thinking about setting rules for how old you should be to use the internet.

This proposal is not a law yet, but it could start an important conversation in India.
