India is in talks with social media companies to introduce age limits for young users, as concerns grow over children’s safety online. IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw says the government is exploring rules that can work in India, while also pushing for tougher action on deepfakes and AI-generated misinformation. The move follows similar steps by Australia and France, and comes after the Madras High Court urged the Centre to study a possible ban for minors. Even as India tightens AI rules and attracts massive investment to become a global AI hub, online safety is emerging as a key policy priority.
