Egypt restricts social media for kids under 13
Egypt has unveiled a new mechanism to regulate children's use of social media, which includes banning accounts of children under 13 and implementing parental controls for those aged 13 to 15. These measures aim to protect children from the dangers of harmful content such as bullying, extortion, and exploitation by requiring digital platforms to use artificial intelligence techniques to verify users' ages. Platforms are given a one-month deadline to submit their verification mechanisms and three months to modify existing accounts accordingly. This step comes in implementation of President Sisi's directives, with proposed verification methods subject to evaluation before approval.
