New Delhi. The central government is going to bring a new law to control the increasing misuse of social media by children. Under this, it will be mandatory for children to take permission from their parents before using social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp.

According to the draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 published by the Central Government on Friday, the data fiduciary will have to ensure verifiable consent of the parents before processing any personal data of the child. This will doubly ensure the privacy of the child on various social media platforms and other websites.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 was passed by Parliament in 2023. The draft rules, once finalised and notified, will come into force. The Centre has set a deadline of February 18, 2025 for the public to comment and send their feedback on the draft rules.

According to the draft, the data fiduciary must adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that verifiable parental consent is obtained before processing any personal data of a child. The data fiduciary will also ensure that the person identifying himself or herself as a parent is an identifiable adult.
