EU to limit children's access to social media gradually
Short summary
The European Union is considering phased, gradual access to social media for children, with supervised use for ages 3-12 and evolving autonomous use with safety features for ages 13-18. A legal proposal is expected later this year to harmonise approaches across member states. The plan aims to standardize child safety protections on social platforms throughout the EU.
