Children Aged 13-16 Should Comment on Social Media Under Adult Supervision

Regulation Overview The Ministry of Justice’s draft decree 147/2024/ND-CP introduces new rules that require parental supervision for children aged 13 to 16 when they post or comment on social media platforms.
Age‑Specific Restrictions Unlike previous regulations that set a single age limit, the new decree establishes separate restrictions for different age groups, ensuring that users under 16 are subject to stricter controls.
Coordination and Security Measures The decree calls for close coordination among relevant authorities to monitor, review, and address data breaches.
It also incorporates measures aimed at safeguarding network security and overall online safety.
Next Steps Before finalizing the regulation, the Ministry will seek input from stakeholders and strengthen coordination to help children participate safely in the online environment.
Objective The overarching goal is to provide a comprehensive framework that enables children to have a safer digital experience.
