Daniel Günther demands Tikok ban for under 16 year olds
Schleswig-Holstein’s Prime Minister Daniel Günther, CDU, wants to better protect children and young people from social media such as TikTok-he has a claim.
Schleswig-Holstein’s Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) campaigns for a ban on Tikkok, Instagram and Facebook for under 16 year olds. “As a state, we have really neglected our protective function in recent years,” he told the “Bild am Sonntag”. It is high time that a paradigm shift was initiated and everything was done “so that under 16-year-olds can really grow up in our society” so that there is really tictok-free, free of social media “.
In a guidance, his state association calls for a ban on social media for children and adolescents as well as stronger control of the platforms as a whole, as the newspaper further reports. This is to be decided on June 17 at the State Committee of the CDU Schleswig-Holstein and a starting point for a nationwide regulation.
Daniel Günther: Negative effects on young people
According to the report, Günther justifies his advance with the negative effects on young people and society. “In the event of a lack of control, social media bring children into contact with things who are glorifying violence, show sexual violence and spread fake news,” he said. The children would be massively overwhelmed. “Parents no longer have a way to find out what their children have to endure.”
