The European Commission aims to restrict minors' access to social media platforms due to psychological and safety risks. The proposed Kids Act sets a minimum age of 15 for creating accounts and requires service providers to prove their platforms are age-appropriate. It also mandates compliance plans and independent audits. Concerns include exposure to harmful content and cyberbullying, with studies indicating significant time spent online by children. While some countries have enacted similar laws, the EU seeks a unified approach. Romania is also considering legislation to protect minors online, with specific age restrictions and advertising regulations.
