Slovenia is working on a draft law that would prohibit children under the age of 15 from accessing social media platforms. Deputy Prime Minister Matej Arcon announced the initiative during a recent news conference.
The proposed legislation aims to address concerns about the impact of social media on young users. Details about the implementation and enforcement of the ban are expected to be outlined as the draft progresses.
**Why this matters**
The move reflects growing global attention to the effects of social media on children’s mental health and well-being. By setting an age limit, Slovenia seeks to protect minors from potential online risks and encourage safer internet use.
