The Government of the Maldives has decided to prohibit the use of certain social media platforms for children under the age of 16. President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu announced this measure with the primary objective of protecting children and young people from various online risks, such as cyberbullying, while upholding the moral and ethical standards of society. This significant step reflects a commitment to addressing the concerns of parents and aligns with international best practices to ensure a safer and more secure future for the nation’s youth.
