New Restrictions on Social Media Access for Children Under 15
September 16, 2026
The government is implementing an action plan to protect minors from social media, proposing restrictions on access for children under 15 years old. A digital age of maturity is to be established at 15, transferring the responsibility for age verification to the platforms themselves. The plan includes data showing the negative effects of excessive social media use. The bill will undergo public consultation before being submitted to parliament. The government aims to create a safer internet environment for young users.
