European Commission set to push social media restrictions, safety requirements into law

The European Commission is planning to introduce legislation that would impose restrictions on social media platforms. The proposed EU KIDS Act would prohibit these platforms from allowing children under 13 to create accounts. Additionally, the act would set a minimum age of 15 for account creation across the European Union. This move aims to establish a uniform standard for social media safety and age requirements within the bloc. The legislation would apply to all social media platforms operating in the EU.
