UAE restricts social media for under 15s
The UAE Cabinet has issued a decision establishing a minimum age of 15 for using social media platforms. It prohibits children under this age from creating or managing accounts or accessing interactive features, in order to protect children and promote digital safety. Children aged 15 to 16 are allowed to use the platforms under special protection measures, including content classification and interaction restrictions, without relying on parental consent. The decision also requires platforms to implement accurate age verification mechanisms, provide parental control tools, and monitor violating accounts with prompt action, all aimed at creating a safe and balanced digital environment for children.
