Will social media be banned for children in India too? PM Modi hints in Australia

 


National Desk: A complete ban on social media for children under 16 living in India is being considered, which is being inspired by the Australian law. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently visited Australia, has praised the Australian law banning social media for children under 16 years of age and called it an important lesson. It can be inferred from this that this statement of Prime Minister Modi is pointing towards a change in the law related to social media in India as well.

Speaking at the India-Australia Summit in Melbourne, PM Modi said that India and other countries have also learned a lot from this step of Australia. The way Australia is changing laws related to IT and social media is inspiring for the safety of society. He made it clear that India is also learning a lot from Australia's efforts to protect children from online dangers. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was also specially present at this event.

Let us tell you that Australia is the first country in the world to ban access to social media for children below the age of 16. Australia implemented this law in December 2025 last year, after which social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat etc. were banned for children below the age of 16. Some state governments in India have recently announced bans on social media for children below the age of 16.
