Spain's Council of Ministers has approved a groundbreaking bill to protect minors in digital environments.

The proposed law, now heading to Congress, aims to address growing risks like cyberbullying, grooming, and the misuse of AI-generated content.

It introduces stricter penalties for crimes involving minors, including deepfake pornography and identity theft.

The legislation also raises the minimum age for social media registration to 16 and mandates parental controls on digital devices.

Schools will gain authority to regulate device use, and healthcare will include checks for tech addiction.

This comprehensive effort reflects Spain's commitment to safeguarding children in an increasingly digital world.
