A government-appointed expert commission has recommended that Germany implement a stricter age limit for social media access. The proposal suggests that children under the age of 13 should be prohibited from managing their own accounts. This recommendation is part of a broader set of 56 suggestions submitted to the Ministry of Family. The goal is to establish a comprehensive strategy for the protection of minors in digital environments. By lowering the threshold for account ownership, the commission aims to reduce risks associated with early social media exposure. The Ministry of Family will now review these guidelines to determine future legislative actions. This move reflects growing concerns over child safety and data privacy online.
