According to Nowacka, the ruling coalition will present a draft outline of the proposal, with fines planned for platforms that fail to enforce age restrictions. The law could take effect by early 2027.

Nowacka said the government is concerned about the mental health and intellectual development of children and young people. The size of potential penalties remains under discussion.

Several European governments, including Denmark, Greece, France, Spain and Britain, have considered or introduced similar measures amid concerns that social media platforms may be harmful or addictive for minors.

The proposal could place Warsaw at odds with U.S.-based technology companies such as Meta Platforms and X, formerly known as Twitter, which have previously pushed back against restrictions in other markets.
