Indian laws such as the Juvenile Justice Act, the Evidence Act, and child labour laws, recognise that children are at different levels of maturity in the 13-18 age group, so to have a blanket age of 18 is not something that is very good for Indian children, Aparajita Bharti, co-founder of Young Leaders for Active Citizenship, an organisation that works with young people across 10 Indian cities, said.
This came as a part of MediaNama’s discussion, hosted with the support of Facebook and Google, on how the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 deals with children’s privacy and data rights. The Bill proposes that any entity that collects or processes children’s data take consent from their parent or guardian before doing so.
