EU bans under-13 social media use
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the European Union will ban the use of social media for children under the age of 13, and will provide them with limited, supervised access until the age of 15. Platforms will be prohibited from creating personal accounts for children under 15, while parents or guardians will be allowed to set up mini accounts for them, featuring limited functions and time restrictions of up to one hour per day. For the age group of 15 to 18 years, a mandatory safe design will be implemented on platforms. This initiative comes in response to growing global pressure and concerns over the negative effects of social media on children’s mental and physical health, with fines reaching up to 6% of the revenues of companies that violate these rules. The European Union aims to protect children while balancing their access to technology and shielding them from addiction and harmful effects.
