The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) gives its approval to the law on the protection of minors in the digital environment promoted by the Ministry of Youth and Children. The Plenary has unanimously approved this Wednesday the mandatory report of this standard which, according to its positive assessment, aims to “specifically” regulate the protection of minors in digital environments.
The Council of Ministers approved the draft last June, and was awaiting the mandatory reports from the advisory bodies, before being approved in a second round and sent to the Congress of Deputies for parliamentary processing. The law constitutes the starting point of the Executive’s strategy to prevent and tackle the harmful effects of technologies on children and adolescents, and was already announced in January by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
The initiative, in which a group of 50 experts appointed by the department led by Sira Rego have participated, includes relevant measures, such as a restraining order on-line; a reform of the Penal Code to punish ultra-counterfeiting or grooming; health tests to detect addictions or harmful behaviors in the digital sphere among minors; and the obligation for all technological devices to have, by default, a parental control system, among other measures.
