According to her, the bill provides for fines for social networks if their services remain accessible to children, and make them responsible for verifying the age of their users.
"We see that the mental health of children and young people is deteriorating, we see a decrease in their intellectual abilities," the minister said.
According to her, the amount of fines that companies will have to pay for violations is still being discussed.
By considering a ban, Poland is joining other European governments, including Germany, Denmark, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, which are threatening to restrict millions of young users' access to services that regulators say are harmful and addictive.
