The European Commission is preparing legislation to impose strict limits on children’s access to social media following recommendations from the Special Panel on Child Safety Online.Proposals under consideration include no screen time for children under 3, supervised access for those under 13, phased permissions for teenagers and a requirement that platforms prove they are safe before allowing younger users.Ursula von der Leyen says technology companies must bear responsibility, and the Commission will review the
Special Panel report as investigations into
Meta and
TikTok for breaches of the
Digital Services Act continue.
