SC refuses to entertain PIL seeking to debar kids below 13 from using social media

Terming it a policy matter, the Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking to debar children below 13 years from using social media.

“It is a policy matter. You ask Parliament to enact the law,” a Bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih said even as it granted liberty to petitioner Zep Foundation to make a representation to the authorities concerned. In case the petitioner made a representation, it would be considered within eight weeks, the Bench said.
