""Today is a good day for children in our country. In the future, we will protect children and young people with determination against the negative effects of social media platforms.""
""We will no longer look on as these platforms make our children addicted and often also sick.""
Austria's governing coalition announced plans to ban social media use for children under 14, following similar actions in other countries. Draft legislation will be prepared by the end of June, utilizing modern age verification methods that respect privacy. The initiative aims to protect children from harmful content and excessive screen time. Other countries, including Australia, France, and Spain, have implemented or are planning similar bans. The Austrian government will also enhance media education in schools to help children navigate digital challenges.
