Following a tragic incident, calls to ban social media for minors in India have intensified. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma argues against such prohibitions, stating they could disadvantage children by cutting them off from crucial modern learning and skill-building platforms. He believes these bans would create a generation of digital latecomers, structurally behind in the global race for ideas and opportunities.
