Comisia Europeană schimbă regulile pentru copiii pe rețelele sociale

The European Commission is set to introduce the KIDS Act, establishing common age restrictions for minors accessing social media and video-sharing platforms across the EU. This initiative responds to political pressures, including calls from French President Emmanuel Macron, aiming to unify various national regulations. The proposal mandates platforms to ensure user safety and may impose age limits, with discussions ongoing about the specific thresholds. Exceptions could apply for educational use or parental supervision. The act also includes educational measures for children and parents, while enforcing strict age verification systems. Non-compliance could lead to significant fines for tech companies. Macron advocates for a minimum age of 15 for social media access, emphasizing the need for child protection across Europe.
