Spain will seek to ban social media for under-16s to protect them from harmful content such as pornography and violence, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said.⁣
⁣
"Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems, not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work," Sanchez has said.⁣
⁣
Spain is the latest country to look into changing the rules and regulations around social media use for children, with Britain and France also considering the change. Australia in December became the first country to ban social media for children under 16.⁣
⁣
The proposal would also change Spanish law to make tech company CEOs criminally liable for failing to remove illegal or hateful material. The measures are expected to be introduced soon, as Spain joins countries like Australia, France, and Portugal in pushing for tougher protections for children online.⁣
