Federal Family Minister Karin Prien presented proposals on Wednesday to protect children and young people in the digital environment. She supports a legal age limit of 13 for the use of social media and considers it an appropriate step in regulating platforms such as TikTok or Instagram. Spiegel.de ↗
The recommendations were prepared by an expert commission for the protection of children and youth in the digital world. The proposals concern various age groups and aim to limit the time children spend on social media. The debate focuses on the risks of prolonged content consumption, pornography, hate speech, and other dangers to which children and young people may be exposed. Die Zeit ↗
At the same time, Prien rejects a simple blanket ban on social media. She emphasizes the need for appropriate guidance for children in using mobile phones and digital services according to their age. In Germany, discussions are therefore underway about rules that would better correspond to children's development while also placing greater responsibility on technology platforms. Die Zeit ↗
