German government accused of ignoring experts on youth media protection
Original: Sie hören einfach nicht zu. auch nicht ihren eigenen Expertenkommissionen. https://www. bundesregierung.de/breg-de/akt u
The German cabinet has agreed on key points for new youth media protection rules, drawing criticism that the government is not listening — including to its own expert commissions. Critics, including voices in the digital policy debate, argue the proposed measures fail to reflect expert advice, and the plans are being discussed as dangerous or misguided ahead of formal legislation.
Why now: The cabinet's approval of the youth media protection key points has sparked criticism that policymakers are overriding their own expert commissions.
