EU Parliament proposes age limits for social media

The EU Parliament has called for stricter protections for children online, including age limits for social media use. This initiative urges the EU Commission to propose legislation banning social media for those under 13 and requiring parental consent for users aged 13-16, citing risks of harmful content and addiction. The Parliament also advocates for reliable age verification methods, drawing inspiration from Australia's upcoming ban for under-16s, to address the significant dangers minors face online.
