Stricter rules for social media. 'The EU is really showing its teeth'
The European Commission proposed an age limit of 13 for social media, allowing 13- and 14-year-olds to use restricted mini-accounts with parental oversight. Eurochild president Tanya Ward supports the proposal as a step forward, emphasizing regulation of tech companies over absolute bans. She argues that strict prohibitions, like those in Australia or France, have failed due to circumvention and constitutional issues, while noting that social media provides essential community support for many young people.
