EU Commission proposes social media ban for children under 13 - Reuters

The European Commission has proposed the EU KIDS Act to prohibit children under 13 from using social media throughout the EU. The draft legislation also prevents individuals under 15 from creating new accounts and suggests capping teenage usage at one hour per day. Additionally, the act mandates that social media platforms provide evidence that their services are safe for young users. This proposal was adopted in Strasbourg on Thursday to enhance child protection across the region.
