The Andhra Pradesh government, led by IT and electronics minister Nara Lokesh, is set to draft a law that will restrict social media access for children under the age of 13. This initiative aims to create an age-appropriate digital environment, incorporating secure age verification mechanisms, such as age tokens linked with DigiLocker, to ensure user privacy while enforcing age restrictions. The proposed legislation is part of a broader effort to balance digital access with child safety, creativity, and mental well-being. A Group of Ministers is examining this move, and officials will analyze best practices from countries including Singapore, Australia, and Denmark to tailor a robust legal and technological framework suitable for India. This effort seeks to align Andhra Pradesh with emerging global standards in digital child protection.
