Egypt's Parliament Initiates Legislation to Shield Minors from Social Media Risks

Cairo. Egypt's parliament has begun efforts to enact legislation to protect adolescents from the risks associated with social media. Lawmakers stated they are seeking measures to regulate children's use of social media against 'digital anarchy,' taking into account the steps being adopted by Western countries.
