The European Union has proposed new rules setting age limits for children using social media platforms, aiming to restrict access to underage users. Under the proposed regulations, minors would be barred from creating accounts independently, with parental consent required for access. The measures also include stricter data privacy protections and safeguards against harmful content exposure. Critics argue the rules could face legal challenges over enforcement and potential conflicts with free speech principles.
