Slovak Christian Democrats Propose Social Media Ban for Children Under 16

The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH), a center-right opposition party in Slovakia, has proposed legislation that would prohibit children under 16 years of age from having social media accounts. The proposal places primary responsibility on social media platform operators to enforce the age restrictions. The initiative reflects growing concerns about the impact of social media on children's mental health and development, following similar legislative efforts in other countries to regulate minors' access to digital platforms.
