Ministry Warns of Child Safety Risks from Social Media Monetization

The Ministry of Women and Child Affairs has issued a statement urging parents and guardians to exercise greater caution when sharing photographs and videos of children on social media platforms. This advisory follows a rapid increase in children's content being uploaded online, fueled by the growing use of monetization methods on platforms like Facebook. The Ministry has confirmed that various individuals and organizations are exploiting these images and videos for commercial purposes, often under the guise of showcasing children's talents or activities. This trend poses significant safety and privacy risks to children by potentially exposing their daily lives to external parties.
