Will proposals to curb access to social media for children make any headway in the country?
And now to India.
If you describe India in one word, this is where every social media company wants to go and then expand the market.
Just to give you a sheer scale, India's got about 500 million YouTube users, probably the highest in the world, 400 million in Facebook and 480 million in Instagram.
And as you mentioned...
The created economy is so huge where you will see very often youngsters doing real standing in railway stations, sometimes dangerously near flooded bridges and other places.
So it's quite huge.
Now, in the economic survey, which comes ahead of the annual budget, we see that the economic advisor is proposing a
certain types of age-based restrictions because what he called the social media companies, some of them as predatory because they are forcing people are getting addicted.
And so he's proposing also off-screen times and also device-free hours and also like telling people to share online activities, to tell their youngsters to do all these things.
I don't know how it's going to work.
It didn't work in my home.
So it is basically, so he's proposing this.
What gives you a glimpse of what is the thought behind this?
What is the discussion going among at the highest level of the Indian government?
It all comes in the wake of what Australia did.
And what are the European countries like France and Britain and Denmark they are discussing?
So it is a real thing that people now want to talk about putting age-based restrictions on social media, various apps.
It is indeed, because, you know, it's also on the one side it is the economy and the other side people are also using it for other purposes.
So far, we haven't heard from these Meta and other companies on this latest comment by the India's chief economic advisor.
