Social media ban for children: Is it possible in India?

India is seeing growing calls to restrict children's social media use, with several state governments and the Economic Survey recommending age-based limits. The move comes after Australia became the first country to ban most social media platforms for children under 16, sparking debate from social media companies and raising concerns about enforcement. While some lawmakers propose legislation, experts warn that such a ban would be challenging to implement due to difficulties in verifying ages and potential legal challenges. Additionally, concerns are raised about the effectiveness of bans and the need for broader parental engagement to address the underlying issues contributing to children's excessive social media use.
