Kazakhstan is considering a legislative ban on social media registration for children under the age of 16. The proposal comes as authorities express increasing concern over the mental health of adolescents. Key drivers for the move include the prevalence of cyberbullying and exposure to harmful online content. Additionally, officials are targeting the negative effects associated with excessive screen time. The Ministry of Culture and Information has already developed draft amendments to existing laws regarding mass media and online platforms. These changes aim to create a safer digital environment for minors. The government is now weighing these measures to protect the youth population.
