State parental control, i.e. imposed by law, it entered into force in Italy on 21 Novemberis dedicated to children but in reality is aimed at parents: in most cases, they will have to activate it on the smartphones and SIM cards of minors, in order to protect them from Internet risks.

In addition to being present as parents, of course.
