Parents in India are reportedly showing support for a proposed ban on social media use for individuals under the age of 18. Digangana Mukherjee, a mother of two young children in Mysore, has taken steps to limit her children's exposure to screens, including banning television at home. She cited concerns about addiction as the primary reason for her decision. This move comes a year after she opted for a traditional school for her son, where teachers used chalkboards and the pace of lessons was slower, due to the smart classroom's reliance on streamed online content.
