The Executive plans to give the green light next May, in a Council of Ministers, to the draft Organic Law on Civil Protection of the Right to Honor, personal and family privacy, and one's own image. This future regulation will set the minimum age for using social networks at 16 years and will reinforce the protection of victims against the rise of 'true crime' (television series about real crimes).
"I want to announce to you that once we receive the mandatory reports, in the month of May, we are going to approve in the Council of Ministers and we are going to send to Parliament the draft Organic Law on Civil Protection of the Right to Honor, to personal and family privacy and to one's own image, which adapts a regulation that is currently obsolete, the law in force since '82", has advanced the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, this Wednesday during his appearance before the Constitutional Commission, in Congress.
Among the most notable changes, as detailed, the text raises from 14 to 16 years the age necessary to be able to consent to presence on social networks. It also incorporates the prohibition of using artificial intelligence for advertising or commercial purposes when the voice or image of any person is used without their prior authorization.
Furthermore, he has indicated that the new legislation will offer additional protection to victims of crimes against the so-called 'True crimes', "these series that flourish in the television landscape" so that "the perpetrators of these crimes cannot profit from this crime".
