Majed Al-Mismar on AI and Digital IDs for Child Social Media Ban
The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority in the UAE announced the issuance of a decision to regulate children's access to social media platforms. The decision sets a minimum age of 15 for creating accounts and mandates measures such as age verification procedures, content restrictions, and the use of parental control tools. The goal is to protect children from inappropriate content and unsafe interactions by adopting advanced verification technologies, regulating account creation processes, and monitoring violations. A transitional period of 12 months has been allocated for gradual compliance. This initiative aligns with the UAE’s efforts to create a safer digital environment for children, based on studies, consultations with relevant authorities, and international best practices.
