Vice-Chancellor Andreas Babler told a press conference that social media platforms have \"negative effects on young people\" and stressed the need for age restrictions similar to those applied to subjects and certain media content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the ban would be implemented at the national level while Austria continued its efforts to support similar measures across the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The curriculum reform will introduce a separate subject on media literacy in upper secondary schools, while some classes in Latin and a second foreign language will be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Computer science teaching will also be expanded and updated to include AI, with an emphasis on understanding digital systems and identifying risks and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
State Secretary for Digital Policy Alexander Prol said that a legislative proposal outlining the technical implementation of the age limit would be presented by the end of June, using verification methods designed to confirm users' age without compromising privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has ruled out introducing a mandatory real-name policy, but has promised stricter enforcement against misuse of user data and closer cooperation between social media platforms and authorities to tackle online harm, Anadolu Agency reported.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
