Social media ban on the way for under-16s amid ‘the question of which is more important’
The Government is to introduce online verification processes that will effectively ban under-16s from social media, Extra.ie understands. Media Minister Patrick O’Donovan has told the Dáil that work is underway in Government to introduce ‘robust age verification’ which will be linked to the forthcoming ‘digital wallet being developed using MyGovID’.
‘That is a question we will have to answer as a House soon, because I will have to bring forward proposals, along with my colleagues the ministers for public expenditure and reform and social protection. I hope all parties support that.’ Taoiseach Micheál Martin also hinted at social media reforms this week, which he indicated would be ‘painful in the moment’ but that future generations would be ‘thankful’ for. Explaining the proposals, Mr O’Donovan, the Fine Gael TD for Limerick County, said: ‘I am working across the Government to support robust age verification. ‘In doing so, we must seek to ensure interoperability and respect users’ rights, including data protection rights. ‘To that end, my officials are working with the Government’s chief information officer and his office to look at practical technical solutions to age verification as part of the Government’s digital wallet being developed using MyGovID.’ The Government says the digital wallet will allow people to ‘securely’ keep digital versions of ‘important documents’ such as a driving licence or a birth cert on their phone or computer. It is understood that the chief information officer is looking to work with Google and Apple to allow them to be able to integrate the wallet into their systems to ensure that appropriate age verification can take place.
This hasn't gotten much traction, but late last week, Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan announced plans for
A) A social media ban for under-16s.
B) To achieve this, introducing mandatory digital ID requirements for all Irish users of social media platforms.

Interesting new movement on internet policy in the US after lawsuits in Europe on #BigTech (and some in the US too). #Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search, a U.S. judge ruled today. #USA #internetpolicy #monopoly #internetlaw www.nytimes.com/2024/08/05/t...
