💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court in India declined to impose a statutory ban on social media usage for children under 13, stating it was a matter of policy. The court allowed the Zep Foundation to make a representation to the relevant authority, which should be considered within eight weeks. The Foundation had sought directions to mandate age verification systems and strict penalties for non-compliance with children's protection regulations on social media platforms.
