EU Kids Act Limits Social Media Use | Global News

The EU is cracking down on social media for kids under 16 with the new EU Kids Act—phasing in strict limits: a full ban for those under 13, one hour daily for ages 13–15 via parent-linked mini accounts, and only teens 15+ can create their own profiles. Designed to boost wellbeing and safety, the rules force platforms to prove they’re built with kids’ protection in mind—and give parents the tools to steer their children’s online lives. This bold move follows similar national efforts in France and Spain, signaling Europe’s serious push to rein in digital harms for young users.
