STUTTGART (dpa-AFX) – CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann assumes that his party will ultimately speak out in favor of restricting social media use for children and young people. Linnemann said before the federal party conference in Stuttgart that he was expecting an open debate at the party conference. “But there is a clear trend that there will be an age restriction at the end.” It remains to be seen what the age limit will be.
The two-day CDU party conference begins on Friday in Stuttgart, at which Merz is to be re-elected as chairman. It is important that the CDU as a family party takes on the social media problem, said the Baden-Württemberg CDU leader Manuel Hagel. “I also say that as a father of three small children who, thank God, don’t have an Insta account yet,” said Hagel, who is running as the CDU’s top candidate in the state elections on March 8th. Social media use can lead to loneliness and depression. “Our children are in the clutches of four big tech companies.”
The access of children and young people to social media is currently being controversially discussed in Germany – Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) was also open to a social media ban for minors. There is an application from the Schleswig-Holstein regional association for the CDU party conference. He recommends setting the minimum age for using Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook and Co. at 16 years, “accompanied by mandatory age verification”./poi/DP/he
