Observing that schoolchildren are nowadays addicted to social media, the High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday orally remarked that the Central government has to, at least, bring in a minimum user age limit for accessing social media.
A Division Bench comprising Justice G. Narendar and Justice Vijayakumar A. Patil made the oral remarks during the hearing of an appeal, filed by X Corp (formerly Twitter), questioning the single judge’s June 30 verdict of upholding blocking orders passed against X for removing objectionable posts and blocking accounts under the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
