“They lack commitment, so we need to study and assess the situation. It is not easy to develop our own social media platform, but some countries have attempted it. We will look into it,” he told reporters on Sunday night. “I reminded him that children under 13 should not use social media, and he agreed to convey this message to his fans,” he said.
“They have agreed to do so. I have provided a list of not only the Prime Minister’s Facebook account but also the official accounts of several media outlets. We will see whether they will follow through, but I believe they will keep their promise,” he said, adding that the ministry will insist that they fulfill their pledge.
