In Europe, it began to propose measures to restrict the use of social media.

Various governments in Europe have begun to propose measures to restrict the use of social media in children and youth.

In the social media industry, one of the main issues today will not escape the ban or the restriction of social media use to youth under a certain age, which can be called global awareness after Australia starts law enforcement, and in a particularly alert region will not escape Europe.

According to a report by the website Biometric Update, the Portuguese Parliament has passed a bill to restrict social media use for children under 16 or under, which would be similar to that of Australia, but not a perfect ban, because if a child wants to use it, they must first obtain parental or legal custody permission for children aged 13 or above. Children under 13 years of age will strictly prohibit social media use. For children under 13 years of age, the ban will not be limited to social media, but will cover online services. In the field of enforcement, online games and applications, authentication is done through state identity authentication mechanisms such as the Digital Mobile Key (Chave Móvel Digital) or other similar mechanisms. In the field of governance, the government is currently consulting with the National Communications Authority or the National Communications Authority (Anacom) and the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) to help it.

Portugal's move is in line with another major European Union country, Germany, which, according to a news report by the Politico website, says that the Federal Chancellor of Germany is very interested in the proposal of a bill from the SDP (Social Democratic Party), a coalition that has introduced a law banning children under the age of 14 from using social media platforms. The Chancellor has said that banning children from legal use is something that requires caution. It requires special scrutiny, but with the possible consequences of the news epidemic, it will be necessary to prevent children from using social media platforms. Fake and fake images created with AI or Artificial Intelligence on the WFP will be very harmful to children, so protecting children and youth will come first. Personally, the Prime Minister has said that giving children to play social media before the age is like serving booze to children in schools that should not be done.

The idea of such legislation is widely supported by both the prime minister's own party, the CDU, and opposition parties such as Green and The Left, also support a social media ban on children. Only far-right opposition parties like AFD or Alternative for Germany actively oppose it, arguing that the proposal is an attempt to control children rather than truly care for their well-being.

Meanwhile, a variety of other EU countries - France, Denmark and Greece - have been trying to push for a law to ban children under the age of 15 from using it. The law is expected to start being enforceable this year, so ask those interested to continue following the news closely.
