Poland's ruling Civic Coalition party is proposing legislation that would ban social media access for children under 15, with fines for platforms failing to verify user ages, according to Education Minister Barbara Nowacka. “We see the mental health of children... declining,” she stated. The penalties are still under discussion, but a law is expected by early 2027. This follows similar moves by European nations to limit youth access to potentially harmful online services.
