In India, Samay Raina has called for a sponsor-free India's Got Latent, a talent show, while the Supreme Court has suggested restrictions on social media for minors. This development could impact how social media platforms operate and advertise in the country.

The potential restrictions on social media for minors could significantly affect social commerce in India, especially for businesses relying on influencer marketing and social media advertising to reach younger audiences. This might lead to a shift in social commerce strategies, focusing more on adult demographics or adapting to comply with the proposed restrictions.
