There is no point in justifying our points.
Lol. that's a funny sentence by itself.
It's not about my point vs your point, it's about a facility which can and should be handled by govt for betterment of it's citizens.
If China can do this, India at least should aspire to do better.
In our largest democracy, if we try to make something better for someone, there shall always be another one unhappy.
Just because few would be unhappy does not mean others does not deserve to be happy.
Let those prefer to stay unhappy stay that way, let those are happy thrive !
Both children and aged people are mostly targets of social media misinformation. About misuse/fraud all age groups fall into same (though middle aged and tech savvy least)
You can only help those who want to be helped, we can attempt to protect those who deserve it, prevent some failures.
We cannot stop those who are determined to fail, there are tolerance limits to every system.
What would you suggest as a solution, like Australia did.
..etc. ...
Don't want total ban, but there should be age based media control in general social media, for eg., meta, twitter, etc. Like how there is pg13, 18+ in films, etc. There should be content verification bars from green, orange to red to mention whether the content is authentic or outright bullshit, etc.
The Indian app is not social media, but a information point from govt to citizens agnostic of politics.
In other words, in India entry is restricted to minors from Hotels Pubs were alcohol is served, if caught hotels pay the charges/penalty (even minors too have to pay minimal)
Penalties for infra, but mandatory social, community training for children and parents with children under observation.
Else, authorities will exploit fines to benefit themselves, fines should be about deterrence, not an income source.
Banning kids is like blaming kids for not being able to understand right from wrong. How did that happen?
Who will train children about right and wrong, self responsibility, achievements, self gratification, etc ? Films stars or narcissist celebrities venting morality on insta ?
How do you think training should happen ?
I say primarily by parents, schools and other avenues which may include social media also.
Kids mimic their parents or elders in their family. You can target only one group and get nothing or target everyone and get something to stick on the wall.
Kids have a working mind of their own. If they listened and copies their parents alone, world would've been a different place altogether.
Kids needs supervision, that is a fact. Freedom without controls and self control is anarchy.
Australia and many other countries are doing all this for a reason, they have learned their lessons.
Let elders show them how to distinguish between fake and real first.
Just because extreme few adults did some stupidity does not mean you have to brush everyone with same paint.
Kids are not moral unless they are conditioned to be so. They need guidance and restriction.
Have mentioned about media controls and information verification earlier in my posts, the same apply for adults too.
We should ban TV and films too. Most of the tv serials and movies are just plain rubbish. Some movie songs even have that vulgar "****ing the air motion" in songs which kids see and imitate. Plus the amount of swear words used in dialogues is too much.
Fully agree with this. We definitely need to control social environment, for that some kind of media control is required. Am not into total ban, but some self control and moderation is well advised.
(obviously, they dressed up the article a lot). SMFH.
