Germany’s Digital Minister has voiced support for banning children from using social media platforms, citing the need to protect them from cyberbullying, addiction, and harmful content.
Officials in Berlin said the proposal is part of a broader strategy to make the digital space safer. Supporters argue it is a necessary step to safeguard young people, while critics warn that such a ban could limit children’s digital participation.
The debate over stricter regulations for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok is intensifying in Germany.
