Slovenia intends to ban access for minors under 15 years old to social media, following the example of Spain and Greece in regulating the use of digital platforms.

The Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister Matej Arcon announced that Slovenia is preparing a bill to ban access to social networks for minors under the age of 15.

The initiative, launched by the Ministry of Education, is part of a broader trend in Europe to regulate young people's access to platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, for reasons related to mental health protection and children's well-being. Similar measures have been proposed or adopted in other European countries such as Spain, Greece, and Italy.
