EU proposes social media ban for children under 13
The European Commission proposed banning the use of social media platforms for children under the age of 13 and emphasized the need to redesign accounts for minors securely as part of the EU Kids Act draft law. The move aims to protect children from increasing digital risks, including reducing the impact of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook on their mental and psychological health, by imposing restrictions on interactive features and screen time. The law also includes direct monitoring by parents over teenagers' accounts between the ages of 13 and 15, bans on technologies that increase addiction, and requirements for companies to verify users' ages and enforce penalties on violators, which could amount to up to 6% of global revenue. Some companies, such as Meta and Kogool, have expressed concerns over data collection and privacy risks, especially regarding children's accounts.
