Thailand Mulls Social Media Age Limits for Teen Safety

Thailand Mulls Social Media Age Limits for Teen Safety

Thai policymakers are debating a proposal that would prohibit children under 16 from using social media platforms without parental approval. Supporters argue the restrictions would protect young people from online harms, including cyberbullying and inappropriate content. Discussions are underway about how enforcement might work and whether exemptions are needed for educational or safety purposes. The plan reflects growing concerns globally about kids’ mental health and digital exposure. Public feedback and expert opinions are being sought before any formal legislation is drafted.
