Have Arab nations' social media safeguards come too late

The article discusses the efforts of Arab governments to regulate and protect children on social media platforms, comparing these initiatives with those in Europe and America. It notes that Western countries have imposed multi-billion-dollar fines on companies like Meta to compensate for the psychological harm and addiction caused by these platforms. Additionally, strict restrictions have been implemented to limit children's use of social channels, such as banning usage from midnight to 6 a.m. and setting a maximum daily usage time of two hours. In the Arab region, the United Arab Emirates has enacted a law prohibiting children under 15 from using social media platforms and has required companies to implement age verification technologies. Similar laws are currently under consideration in Egypt. This reflects a growing trend toward regulating children's access to these platforms, emphasizing the need for each country to create its own laws to ensure children’s protection, given the absence of universally applied regulations.
