European Commission Proposes Social Media Ban for Children Amid Rising Concerns
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced that the EU may propose a bloc-wide social media ban for children as early as this summer. This move comes in response to increasing pressure from member states like France, Spain, Greece, and Denmark, who are advocating for stronger online protections for minors. The proposal aims to address concerns over addictive online platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, which are believed to negatively impact children. The European Commission is also considering the development of an age verification app to enforce minimum age requirements on social media platforms.
