Minister of Digital Technologies Shermatov commented on the idea to legally restrict the use of social media for children under 16

Minister of Digital Technologies Shermatov considers that legal restrictions alone are not enough. According to him, it is also necessary to engage in family upbringing, fill children's free time with useful content, and increase their physical activity.

"If the law is adopted, all problems will not disappear the next day. Even in states where such restrictions have been introduced, the issue is not fully resolved," Shermatov said.

The Prosecutor General's Office also reports that a comprehensive program and roadmap are proposed to be developed with the participation of experts on this topic. It is not specified in the message who made this proposal and when the documents may appear. It is also not clarified where and when the minister made his statement.
