Why this petition matters

Started by SFDOST initiative

Certain songs and videos posted on social media or Online Streaming Channels promote drug/alcohol/tobacco use. 

Such videos or songs can influence the feeble minds of the youth and encourage them to use illicit drugs, alcohol, and other substances or engage in anti-social behavior.

One approach to protecting the youth from addiction, is social media platforms, Online, and music streaming services should label any songs featuring these substances as sensitive and with age limitations.

In India, it is illegal for anyone under 21 to consume alcohol, so these social media platforms should be held responsible for marketing any such products to the underage. Merely posting a notice does not serve the purpose because some youngsters may not be able to understand the legal language used in the notice. 

The states should take legal action against these sites that violate these rules or shut them down completely.

Any kind of promotion of drugs and banned substances should be strictly stopped on all media platforms and Online Streaming Channels. 

We can see this on various channels. It's mainly because these songs are sponsored by alcohol, and tobacco companies or maybe anti-social elements.

 

Children build the future of Society and Civilisation, hence it is the duty of society to provide them with health thoughts and the environment.
