Egypt restricts social media for under 13s
The Egyptian authorities have announced a ban on independent personal accounts for children under the age of 13 on social media platforms, and have imposed additional restrictions on users between 13 and 15 years old, in an effort to protect children and adolescents. Children aged 13 and 14 are permitted to have accounts with the Safe Mode feature automatically activated, which cannot be disabled individually. Platforms are also required to verify users' ages effectively, with mechanisms in place for correction and appeal rights within three months of the implementation date. These measures aim to prevent circumvention of age limits and ensure children are protected from inappropriate content.
