New Measures for Age Verification to Protect Children Online
December 8, 2025
In Europe, a resolution was approved to protect children and teenagers online, proposing a minimum age limit of 16 for social media usage. Some countries already have strict regulations with parental consent. In Cyprus, a digital age verification solution is being planned. The European verification mechanism will be done through mobile phones and will include personal data protection. The Deputy Ministry is preparing the details for implementing this solution at the national level.
