印度各邦正在考虑禁止16岁以下儿童的社交媒体, Indian states are considering banning social media for children under 16 amid growing concerns over mental health, online safety, and addictive platform design. 联盟部长Ashwini Vaishnaw强调印度在安全的同时推动数字创新,并援引《数字个人数据保护法》作为全球基准。 Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted India’s push for digital innovation alongside safety, citing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act as a global benchmark. 他警告说,如深层假象、网上欺诈和误导广告等威胁不断上升,强调平台问责制的必要性。 He warned of rising threats like deepfakes, online fraud, and misleading ads, stressing the need for platform accountability. 专家支持监管,但强调平衡的解决办法——父母参与、年龄核查、数字扫盲和平台责任——超越完全禁止,借鉴澳大利亚以青年为重点的法律等模式。 Experts support regulation but emphasize balanced solutions—parental involvement, age verification, digital literacy, and platform responsibility—over outright bans, drawing from models like Australia’s youth-focused laws.
