She highlighted the importance of instilling good values in children and warned about the psychological effects of their exposure online, urging for regulatory measures similar to those in advertisements.

Sudha Murty, Nominated Member of the Rajya Sabha, has called on the government to create guidelines governing the depiction of children on social media. She emphasized the importance of building a strong value system among the youth.

Drawing attention to the issue during the Zero Hour, Murty expressed serious concerns about children's representation on online platforms. She mentioned regulations from advanced countries like France as a point of reference.
