A legislative proposal in Romania aims to prohibit children under 15 from accessing social media, having passed tacitly in the Senate. The initiative seeks to enhance protections for minors online and will now be reviewed by the Chamber of Deputies. Although the Senate's tacit adoption indicates no formal vote, the proposal will require further parliamentary procedures to become law. It includes measures for adolescents aged 15 to 18 and addresses risks like harmful content and online harassment. Another proposal concerning minors under 16 is also under consideration, highlighting ongoing discussions about age verification and digital safety in the EU.
