We have close to 2000 signatures already on our petition calling for a 'Ban on Social Media for Children under 16 in India! Thanks for your support 🙏 📌chng.it/sxxcM8JGvs Why are we calling for a ban ? Do we have data to support it? Yes we have and because this is not just an opinion any more. It is backed by growing evidence, international concern, and the lived experiences of parents, educators, and mental health professionals. Here are some of the key sources that informed the ongoing petition: 1. Times of India: 1 in 3 children addicted to social media, mental health at risk lnkd.in/gqSkkZyi 2. India Today: 27% of teens show signs of social media dependency lnkd.in/gas79yNZ 3. Business Standard: 66% of parents believe children are addicted to social media or gaming lnkd.in/gVz_fyv6 4. Power of Zero / McAfee: India ranks highest globally for child cyberbullying lnkd.in/ggt4AUw4 5. GenDigital / Save the Children: 32% rise in cybercrime involving children lnkd.in/gcbPcYEh 6. Economic Times: Internet and social media overuse driving rise in mental health issues lnkd.in/gZxwNNed This is why we’re urging for: ✔️A clear legal ban for children under 16 on social media platforms ✔️ Stricter accountability for tech companies ✔️ Safer digital spaces for ALL children. Not just a privileged few 📌 If you haven’t signed already, please support the movement: chng.it/sxxcM8JGvs Let’s create the momentum for policy change and digital responsibility.
