Social Media Ban for Teens Triggers Worldwide Debate | Media scan

Описание: The debate over banning social media for adolescents has intensified following the AI Impact Summit in Delhi. Countries such as Australia and France have already imposed restrictions on social media access for minors, while Greece, Spain, Denmark and the United Kingdom are considering similar measures. The issue is now gaining momentum in India as concerns grow over the impact of social media on young minds.

During the AI Summit, French President Emmanuel Macron strongly pushed for stricter regulations to protect children online. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also spoken about the need for safeguards and responsible digital use among youngsters. In Andhra Pradesh, the government has even constituted a Group of Ministers to examine the issue in detail.

In this special panel discussion, Subimal Bhattacharjee, IT Expert, Prof Raakesh Kripalani, Expert in Psychology and Behavioural Science, and Neha Sharma, Principal of Apeejay School, Noida, share their insights on whether social media should be banned for adolescents or regulated through stricter guardrails.

The discussion explores key questions including whether social media contributes to attention disorders and mental health issues, whether age verification can realistically protect children, and whether banning platforms is a practical solution or an overreach. The debate reflects a larger global concern about protecting youth while preserving digital freedom.
