Momentum calls on the Maltese government to take immediate action to protect children from the harmful effects of social media, arguing Malta should not wait for “big tech” to self-regulate. In statements reported by Malta Today and Gozo News, the party urges lawmakers to introduce restrictions on social media access for children under 16, framing the issue as a youth protection priority. Momentum’s position emphasizes the need for government-led measures rather than relying on platforms’ voluntary policies. The party does not indicate in the provided reports what form the restrictions should take, but stresses that the government should act promptly and decisively. Both outlets present Momentum as pushing for safeguards for minors and calling for regulatory steps now, rather than later. The responses or plans from the government are not described in these sources.
