The European Union’s chief is considering social media restrictions for kids under 13

The European Union's top official is mulling over significant restrictions on social media access for children under 13, following recommendations from a special panel that wants a ban until tech firms can demonstrate the safety of their platforms. This move reflects a broader global trend where countries like Australia, the U.K., and Turkey have already implemented similar bans to protect young, developing brains from the potential dangers of social media. This could signal a major shift in how digital safety is approached, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to safeguard children in the increasingly digital world.
