KUALA LUMPUR: The government is holding discussions with online platforms to introduce automatic screen time limits for children, including mandatory breaks after prolonged use.
The Prime Minister's Office has published a draft law that stipulates that social media use will be restricted to individuals over the age of 15. The proposal also includes age verification, privacy protection, and a stronger digital education component in schools and preschools. The legislation still needs to pass the Sejm, Senate, and be signed by the president.
Discussions have finally begun in Japan about SNS regulations for children. In Europe and America, there is an active movement toward a “uniform ban on use due to age,” but what should Japan, where there are not few cautious people, look like? Journalist Tsuda Daisuke examines it.
Access to social media (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) only for those over 15 and effective age verification of users – these are the key provisions of the bill prepared by the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the Ministry of National Education. The new regulations also aim to increase online safety education for children and young people. The government plans to adopt the bill in the first quarter of 2027.
