Intelligence Summary
The European Union is considering new rules to limit teens' access to social media. Proposed measures include age-based restrictions and the possibility of phased or outright bans. Platforms may also be required to demonstrate that their services are not harmful to children before young users can access them. The European Commission says draft legislation could be submitted within months after expert recommendations. If adopted, these changes could significantly affect how platforms verify ages and design child-safety controls.
