The European Commission has asked European Union member states to postpone decisions on national proposals to restrict children's access to social networks. Brussels points out that the planned national rules overlap with the upcoming EU legislation known as the EU Kids Act. teraz.sk ↗
On Thursday, the Commission announced a one-year postponement of decisions on proposals intended to restrict the use of social networks by children. Several member states have begun preparing their own rules in response to the risks children face on platforms. These include radicalization, cyberbullying, harassment and other dangers. svet.sme.sk ↗
Brussels is asking states to halt their planned bans for now and wait for a common European regulation. The aim of the postponement is to enable national measures to be aligned with the forthcoming EU legal framework.
Slovakia is still assessing its proposal to restrict children's access to social networks until the age of 16. Slovak authorities are waiting for a position on how the planned EU regulation should affect the national plan. zive.sk ↗
Further steps will depend on the European Commission's position and on the preparation of the EU Kids Act. Member states will thus have to decide whether to amend their proposals, postpone them, or replace them with a common European solution.
