Abstract<\/h2>\n

The German law on the protection of minors from harmful media must be modernised, because the legal regulations of the Federal Government and the L\u00e4nder have long since become outdated and urgently need to be adapted to technical and user developments. In 2019, the Federal Government launched the reform of the Youth Protection Act, which is to be developed in an open-ended discourse and has the central objective of a convergent legal framework that extends the protection objectives and clearly formulates the instruments for achieving them. The L\u00e4nder are following suit with a planned amendment to the JMStV. Terms, areas of application, age rating and competences are under discussion. The article gives an overview of the planned amendments, their points of friction and their possible role for a real, sustainable modernisation of the complex legal area.<\/p>\n
