Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal : support banning children in India from using social media

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal : advocated for a social media ban for children in India.

Sonakshi and Zaheer were invited to weigh in on Australia’s social media ban for those under 16 at a panel discussion held at MET (Mumbai Education Trust) College in Mumbai.

Sonakshi responded to this by calling it a “very good thing” and said that India should also enact the ban.

Contributing, Zaheer said that, in his opinion, restricting the kind of information children see on social media is important, but banning them is not always necessary.

“You can also do extreme,” he replied. Additionally, you have the ability to prohibit items. However, you can also effectively regulate it. For example, my niece has an iPad when she comes over to my home, but there are strict restrictions on what she can do with it. Therefore, I believe there is a method to manage it. You are not required to. It’s excellent, really.

Sonakshi believed that children shouldn’t be exposed to social media until they are unable to distinguish between good and bad.

“No, I believe it is preventable. At least till a certain age. Until a youngster is old enough to distinguish between good and evil, as well as between right and wrong. According to the ‘Dabangg’ actress, a youngster shouldn’t be exposed to it until that age.

“Yeah, and you should definitely control it till then as well. You may not always know which buttons to press. Therefore, it’s wise to keep an eye on them while they’re watching. It’s painful, I know. If you are viewing with someone who is watching for two hours. However, someone ought to,” Zaheer said.
