The Austrian government plans to prohibit social media usage for individuals under the age of 14. This decision follows extensive negotiations within the government.
As part of this initiative, a compulsory class titled 'Media and Democracy' will be introduced in schools. This course is designed to educate students on how to differentiate between truth and falsehood in media.
The implementation of this policy reflects a growing concern about the impact of social media on youth and aims to enhance media literacy among younger populations.
