FEMP Alliance and Control Z Against Childhood Hyperconnection

Published on June 10, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) has joined forces with the Control Z platform to address the excessive use of screens among young people. This collaboration aims to establish local protocols that promote responsible digital consumption. Risks such as cyberbullying and internet addiction will be addressed, offering resources to families and educators to manage screen time.

Parental control technology and content filters 📱

From a technical standpoint, the initiative proposes the implementation of filtering systems at the municipal level. Software tools that allow limiting access to inappropriate content on public wifi networks will be evaluated. Additionally, parental control apps with geolocation and time-blocking features will be promoted. The challenge lies in balancing security with privacy, avoiding intrusive solutions that could violate minors' fundamental rights.

The anti-screen plan that doesn't include turning off the router 🤦

The perfect solution for kids to stop using their phones: teach them to use it in moderation. Because of course, the strategy is not to take away their device, but to install fifteen filters and two control apps on it. So, while they try to bypass the YouTube block, parents can feel proud of having activated the airplane mode option... on their own conscience. Good thing the FEMP is coming to save the day.
