Bundesregierung: Prien setzt auf EU-weite Regeln für Kinder bei Social Media
Neben einem Social-Media-Verbot für Kinder unter 13 Jahren kann sich Familienministerin Prien auch Maßnahmen für ältere Jugendliche vorstellen. Generell setzt sie aber auf EU-weite Regelungen.
Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien advocates for EU-wide regulations regarding children's use of social media. In an interview with "Hamburger Abendblatts", the CDU politician suggested that additional measures might be introduced for teenagers aged 13 to 16, and potentially up to 18. Prien emphasized the responsibility of platform providers to ensure that only age-appropriate content is presented to children and teenagers.
She stressed the need for a European solution: "By the end of summer, we will present milestones for a German law, which is intentionally designed as a transitional regulation to ultimately arrive at a common European solution." Prien estimated that the legislative process would take at least six months. Her plan includes the establishment of the "EUDI-Wallet" by early next year to guarantee age verification. "I hope we can achieve this," she stated.
