Portugal's parliament has approved a draft law mandating parental consent for social media access for teens aged 13 to 16, aiming to enhance online protections. The ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) highlighted concerns over cyberbullying and online predators. Parents must authorize access using Portugal's Digital Mobile Key, and companies face fines up to 2% of global revenue for non-compliance. The proposal passed with 148 votes, signaling a robust government enforcement intent.
