Lessons from France: Why India needs stronger digital safety laws for children?
France restricts social media access for children under 15, reigniting global digital safety debate.
The French law requires parental consent for under-15s to create social media accounts.
India lacks equivalent digital safety laws for children, making minors vulnerable online.
India's Data Protection Bill includes children's data safeguards but has not been fully enacted.
France's approach serves as a model for countries like India to strengthen child online protection.
