What are the rules for social media in India...?

The wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) has been implemented in india in 2023 to protect children from the dangers of social media. Section 9 of DPDPA states three conditions for the use of data of children under the age of 18. If a company wants to use children's information, it must first ask their parents and get their permission.

Companies must use children's information in a way that does not harm the children, but is for their welfare.

Companies cannot monitor children's online activities, nor can they target them and show advertisements.

This law is necessary to keep children safe in the online world. At the same time, the karnataka High Court has suggested to the central government in 2023 that an age limit of 21 years should be set for using social media. The court believes that social media addiction is increasing among school children and it is having a bad effect on their lives.
