The European Commission is proposing new regulations to limit social media access for children aged 13 and 14 to one hour per day. These minors would have specially monitored accounts created by parents, while those aged 15 and older could create their own accounts without restrictions. Concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of these measures, as many young people believe they can access information from older peers regardless of restrictions. A study indicates that 45% of children feel age restrictions won't enhance their safety. The EU Kids Act is currently under public consultation and may be officially adopted by late 2027, with enforcement starting in 2028, including potential fines for non-compliance.
