The CSU party is internally divided over a proposed ban on social media for children under 14. While some, like CSU MP Konrad Körner, support the ban citing the need to protect young people from harmful online content, others, including CSU leader Markus Söder and General Secretary Martin Huber, express reservations and call for a more measured approach. Concerns have been raised about the feasibility of enforcing such a ban at the national level and the potential impact on digital literacy. Despite internal debate, a recent ifo Institute survey indicates a strong public majority, including a relative majority of teenagers, favors an age limit of 16 for social media accounts.
