The head of state emphasized that Slovakia should not wait in this area for a decision by the European Commission. According to the president, it is necessary to act at the national level as well, while the European Union has not yet adopted a major, centralized measure. teraz.sk ↗
Pellegrini was thus responding to an initiative by the education ministry, which is addressing the regulation of social media for children. The intention is linked to efforts to protect young people from the negative influences of the digital environment. domov.sme.sk ↗
At the same time, the president pointed to the urgency of the situation. Specific details of the planned regulation, as well as its timetable, have not yet been presented.
Slovakia is therefore considering its own approach without waiting for a joint decision at the European Union level. Further developments will depend on the education ministry's proposals and on what measures the European Commission ultimately adopts.
