Romania: Digital Age of Majority Law (L190/2025) including content moderation regulation introduced to Senate

On 5 June 2025, the Digital Age of Majority Law (L190/2025), containing content moderation regulation, was introduced to the Senate of Romania. The Law would establish requirements for online service providers regarding minors and aims to align with existing online minor protection provisions in the General Data Protection Regulation and the Digital Services Act. The Law would require online service providers with users who are minors to take proportionate measures to protect those users via online interface design, filters, and adapting online content. Further, service providers would be prohibited from displaying advertisements based on user profiling. The legal representatives of minors would also be given the right to request the suspension or deletion of a minor's account, or the restriction of their access to pages containing harmful content. Further, online service providers would be required to label content according to age categories within 180 days of the law's adoption.
