EU enforces new social media rules for kids
The European Commission has approved a proposed law aimed at protecting children online by establishing uniform rules across the European Union. The law includes banning social media accounts for children under the age of 13, allowing children aged 13 to under 15 to use monitored accounts with family supervision and usage time restrictions, and permitting children aged 15 and older to create independent accounts. The proposal also requires digital platforms, applications, and technologies used by children to be “secure by design.” It addresses features that promote excessive use, such as endless scrolling and intrusive notifications, and regulates AI services and digital games. The law emphasizes verifying users’ ages through privacy-protecting methods and mandates large companies to demonstrate compliance and submit adherence plans, with fines of up to 6% of their global revenue for violations. The aim of the proposal is to close gaps created by disparate national laws and to ensure consistent and effective protection for children across all EU member states.
