NewzThe European Union is considering new regulatory measures that would impose an outright ban on social media access for children under the age of 13, alongside restricted 'mini accounts' for minors up to 15 years old. The proposed framework aims to establish stricter guidelines regarding the responsibilities of digital platforms operating within the bloc.
To enforce compliance with these age limits, the initiative includes provisions for substantial financial penalties against platforms that fail to adhere to the mandated restrictions. These measures reflect ongoing efforts by European regulators to enhance online safety and youth protection in the digital environment.
