The European Commission is preparing to push the EU KIDS Act into law, a proposal that would place strict limits on how social media platforms serve minors. Under the act, platforms would be blocked from offering accounts to children younger than 13, according to Recorded Future News.
The proposal also establishes a bloc-wide minimum age of 15 for account creation. That goes beyond the current patchwork of national age rules and would create a single standard across EU member states.
Since this is based on one source, there are no differing accounts to compare. The report frames the measure as part of a broader European push to tighten online safety requirements for social media companies.
