Rajya Sabha Nominated MP Sudha Murty on Friday urged the government to set norms on the portrayal of children on social media platforms, as it is essential to inculcate a good value system among the younger generation.

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, she expressed serious concern about how children are being depicted on social media, and cited regulations on the portrayal of children from several advanced countries like France.

"Children are our future, and we should develop our children in a good value system, good education, sports and many other activities," Murty said. She stated that social media has now become very popular and there are many advantages, but there are also flip sides to it.
