US EditionEurope’s Effort to Block Kids From Social Media Gathers Pace
- European capitals led by Greece, France, and Spain are advancing a proposal in Brussels to restrict minors' use of social media through new EU legislation.
- This proposal follows growing concerns about excessive screen time impacts and builds on France's 2023 law banning under-15s from social media, though opinions differ on total bans.
- The new rules would enforce mandatory age verification and parental controls at the device level and aim to reduce persuasive features like autoplay and personalization on platforms.
- Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark stated that protecting children online will be a key priority during Denmark's upcoming six-month EU Council presidency starting mid-2025.
- If adopted, the EU would set an EU-wide digital adulthood age requiring parental consent below that age, positioning Europe as a global leader in limiting children's social media exposure.
