On Tuesday evening, he wrote on X that "platforms have the possibility to verify age. Let's do it".
The President also states that they will soon introduce age verification for websites that sell knives. Similar verification exists for porn sites.
A fifteen-year-old should no longer be able to buy a knife online, he says.
