The NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has been repeatedly emphasising on safe practises on social media and has been recommending those who have been crossing the line and abusing others.
Now, reformative measure is likely to be taken up by the Andhra Pradesh government under the scrutiny of IT Minister Lokesh. It appears that Lokesh is following up on his earlier comment about possibly restricting social media usage for children under 16 years, and some serious developments are being registered now.
In this context, Lokesh shared “Trust in social media is breaking down. Children are slipping into relentless usage, affecting their attention spans and education. Women are facing non-stop online abuse. This cannot be ignored.”
The Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to act on this matter. In the meeting of the Group of Ministers on Social Media, the cabinet ministers have ordered a study of legal frameworks for age-appropriate access.
This is a strong indication of the prospect of the Andhra Pradesh government, restricting social media usage for children under 16 years in order to safeguard them from the antisocial elements. This is going to be one of the breakthrough developments in Indian politics as more states could follow the Andhra Pradesh model, if it proves to be successful.
Adding to this, the government has also invited major platforms like Meta, X, Google and Sharechat to the next GOM meeting, to examine global best practices. “We will ensure social media becomes a safer space and reduce its damaging impact – especially for women and children.” Lokesh concluded.
