Centre eyes multiple ways for age-gating, seeks views

The Indian government is considering allowing social media companies and internet intermediaries to develop their own methods to restrict content based on age and acquire verifiable parental consent, as required by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. This move aims to ensure business continuity while addressing concerns about age verification and parental consent for users under 18. The government has asked companies to present their plans on how to handle these issues before the draft rules are finalized. This development comes as the ministry of electronics and information technology met with industry representatives to discuss the best approach for implementing age-gating and parental consent mechanisms.
