French President Emmanuel Macron has asked European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to prepare a proposal for European legislation prohibiting the use of social media by children under 15 years of age. The proposal should apply to all European Union member states. svet.sme.sk ↗
Macron is promoting unified rules at the European Union level through his initiative. The goal is to protect children across the Union through common legal regulation, rather than through different national measures adopted by individual countries. aktuality.sk ↗
The French president is asking the European Commission to submit the text of the legislation needed to implement the ban. The potential legal regulation would establish an age limit of 15 years for access to social media within the Union.
The European Commission has the authority in the Union's legislative process to submit proposals for legal acts. The final form of these proposals is subsequently decided by the member states and the European Parliament. Macron's request therefore represents the beginning of a political discussion on possible EU-wide rules for the protection of minors on digital platforms. Refresher.sk ↗
It is not yet known what specific provisions the proposal would contain or by what deadline the European Commission could submit it. The discussion will focus on the possibilities of introducing a uniform age limit for children in the European Union.
