Should there be any age restriction in Social Media use?

Answer— Of course Yes but not Absolute

Reasoning—
American psychologist Jonathan Haidt, in his best-selling 2024 book The Anxious Generation, said smartphones and the Internet have replaced the “play” element of childhood.

He said, “We’ve had a play-based childhood for literally 200 million years because we’re mammals and all mammals play. That’s how we wired up our brains. Somewhere in the 1990s, it stopped—and stopped dead by 2010. It faded away and was replaced, very suddenly, by the phone-based childhood… If you went through puberty on a smartphone with a front-facing camera and Instagram and social media, and five hours a day of social media, nine hours a day of screen time, you are at much, much higher risk of being anxious and depressed.”

Blanket Ban should not be implemented—
“The community and platforms are in the dark about what exactly is required of them,” she said. Activists also pointed to social media providing a sense of community to young people, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds, facing bullying, belonging to the LGBTQ community, etc. A blanket ban could, in turn, prove detrimental to their well-being.

Difficulty in determining Age—
How? Aadhaar card in India? Privacy? or just take usual false information as done by social media platforms?

🕌🪦 Ajmer Dargah

Dargahs are shrines built over graves of revered religious figures, most often Sufi saints.
In Ajmer is the mausoleum of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti

1. Moinuddin was born in 1141 CE in Sistan, a province in Persia (Iran)
2. He was around 50 when he reached Ajmer sometime in 1191 (Battle of Tarain 1192)

Sufism emerged between the seventh and 10th centuries CE as a counterweight to the increasing worldliness of the expanding Muslim community. Sufis embraced a more ascetic and devotional form of Islam, and often engaged in a variety of mystical practices.

🌟 Trivial Case Doctrine in Cooyright Infringment

The Delhi High Court applied this doctrine in the case of India TV Independent News Service vs Yash Raj Films. The court was considering a case where, on the chat-show INDIA BEATS, a guest sang portions of nine different songs, seven of which Yash Raj Films claimed they had a copyright over. The court applied the doctrine and rejected Yash Raj Films’ claims of copyright infringement. It stated that “We cannot separate from the life of the performer her performances” and that in the setting of a chat show “as long as the singing duration is limited to a minute or so at a time, it would be a case of de minimis use, and hence the appropriation of the lyrics would not constitute an actionable violation of the copyright in the sound recording.

The-Broken-Windows-Theory

Any apparent indicators of crime and civil disorder, such as broken windows, loitering, public drinking, and transportation fare evasion, create an urban atmosphere that promotes even more crime and disorder, according to the broken windows theory (Wilson & Kelling, 1982).

It is a trite principle that Prevention of Crime is More important than adjudication of criminal cases and to go into the root cause that is why role of executive is far more Important in Criminal justice system.

Judiciary has more than 5,600 vacancies across courts, Govt tells RS https://indianexpress.com/article/india/judiciary-has-more-than-5600-vacancies-across-courts-govt-tells-rs-9697986/

Filling up of vacant positions in the case of district and subordinate courts is the responsibility of the high courts and state governments concerned,” Meghwal said in a written reply.
@CurrentLegalGK
On the question as to whether the government was thinking of bringing an ALL-INDIA JUDICIAL SERVICE examination for the selection of judges, Meghwal said there was no consensus on the issue even though Article 312 of the Constitution provides for the establishment of All India Judicial Service (AIJS), which shall not include any post inferior to that of a District Judge.

Read USA's Model on E incarceration

The 268th Law Commission report acknowledges the “grave and significant impact on constitutional rights” that such a measure might have. It suggests that such monitoring “must be used only in grave and heinous crimes, where the accused person has a prior conviction in similar offences” and states that criminal legislations should be amended accordingly

#Question@CurrentLegalGK

Sovereignty in India vests with the People of India that is the source of Power or the ultimate authority in India However legal sovereignty vests in Constituion and we have a Doctrine called Basic structure and a representative democracy.

Keeping in mind all the aforementioned principles answer the following.

Can a 100% Majority in Parliament both the houses and the 100% Ratification by states amendment the basic structure of the constitution and would that be legal? or a 5 Judge bench can overrule it.
