- EU to limit children’s access to social media — gradually
The EU plans to implement phased and gradual access to social media for children, with under-13s requiring supervision and platforms needing to prove safety. A legal proposal will follow in the second half of the year, focusing on age-appropriate restrictions and limiting addictive features.
- EU to limit children's access to social media — gradually
The EU plans to implement phased and gradual access to social media for children, with age-appropriate restrictions starting at age 13. An expert panel recommended supervised use for under-13s and 'safe' platforms for 13-18-year-olds, while platforms must prove their services are harmless. A legal proposal is expected in the second half of the year, avoiding a blanket ban but targeting features like autoplay and infinite scroll.
