A project is being discussed in Armenia that proposes restricting access to social media for users under 16 years of age. The presentation of the initiative is scheduled for May 15 as part of a meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport of the country. Minister Zhanna Andreasyan will deliver the opening remarks, and her deputy Araksia Svajyan will present the details of the project.
The document is considered part of a broader policy to protect children in the digital environment and strengthen control over online content. The authorities emphasize that the discussion will take place in the format of a dialogue with experts and public organizations to assess possible consequences and implementation mechanisms.
In parallel, the initiative fits into the general trend of regulating the digital space, where states are increasing attention to the impact of social media on teenagers. Final decisions have not yet been made, but the discussion is already generating interest among experts and parents who expect clearer rules for digital safety.
