In a context of constant information flow, the news about the use of artificial intelligence by major digital platforms to verify the age of their users has gone unnoticed. The main objective of this measure is to ensure that users are at least thirteen years old, using advanced systems that examine the bone structure and height of the person interacting with the device.

This initiative arises at a time when concern for the protection of minors in the digital environment is growing. The Spanish Government already announced in February its intention to restrict access for minors under sixteen years old to social networks, a measure that is still pending implementation.

In the Valencian region, the Ministry of Education announced last week that school cyberbullying in Valencian classrooms has been reduced by 60% since the activation of the coexistence decree in January. This regulation limits the use of mobile devices in educational centers and incorporates the figure of the well-being and protection coordinator, measures that have proven beneficial for the mental health of minors.

However, uncertainty looms over the continuity of these restrictions promoted by the Consell, given the scenario of an indefinite teachers' strike that began this Monday. The consequences of this stoppage in public education are unpredictable and generate concern in the educational community.
