SPD Fast‑Track Social Media Ban for Under‑14s in Bundestag After CDU’s Decision

Following the CDU party conference’s decision to prohibit social‑media use for children under 14, the SPD is pushing for a quick resolution on the matter in the Bundestag. Dirk Wiese, the SPD parliamentary group’s first parliamentary bureau chief, told “Bild am Sonntag” that the Union now supports a ban for those under 14, a move he explicitly welcomed. He argues that the ban would better safeguard children and adolescents in the digital realm and calls for the German Bundestag to enact a clear law on the issue without delay.
