The bill previously reported on has been approved by a majority vote. Under the new law, access to social media and online platforms (such as Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Facebook) for users under 16 will only be allowed with explicit and verified parental consent. The law also introduces mandatory age verification for all users through the state digital identification system, Chave Móvel Digital. A petition has already been launched against the measure, with its authors claiming it violates the right to privacy. However, according to the source, even if it gathers the required number of signatures, it is unlikely to affect the final decision, as the initiative is part of a broader EU-wide rule to be gradually implemented across member states.
