EU to propose limits on children’s social media access, Ursula von der Leyen says

The European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, plans to propose new rules limiting children's access to social media to protect minors from harmful content, following expert panel recommendations. The proposal may include an age limit or a risk-based approach targeting platform design rather than a blanket ban. EU member states have varied positions, complicating harmonization of a single rule across the bloc.
