UAE bans social media use under 15

The United Arab Emirates has imposed a minimum age of 15 years for using social media, becoming the first Arab country to set age restrictions on digital platforms. This measure aims to protect children from inappropriate content and unsafe interactions on communication apps. The new rules include banning the creation or management of accounts for individuals under 15, along with strict protective measures for teenagers aged 15 to 16. Companies are committed to implementing age verification technologies, including digital identity and artificial intelligence, within 12 months.
