The Karnataka High Court has said that the Centre should consider putting an age limit on the use of social media in the country. While hearing a plea by Twitter, the high court said it would be a boon if the government introduced such a rule.
"It will be a boon! When someone registers, they will have to give some sort of identification," the Karnataka High Court said while hearing the plea by Twitter, India Today reported.
