EU to Curb Social Media Access for Under-15s

Economic Times - Tech · technology

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will unveil new legislation to protect children online. The proposed "EU KIDS Act" aims to curb access to social media, gaming, and AI chatbots for children under 15. A tiered system will allow limited access under parental supervision for 13-14 year olds, with stricter controls for younger children. Platforms violating these rules face significant fines of up to six percent of their annual turnover.
