Cum va verifica UE vârsta utilizatorilor de pe rețelele sociale

The European Commission proposed banning children under 13 from social media, requiring parental supervision until age 15. This initiative includes a free, open-source age verification app that ensures user privacy. Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that this proposal follows Australia's example of restricting access for those under 16. If adopted, it would be the strictest social media access regulation globally, affecting 450 million people across 27 countries. The app, expected to be available EU-wide by late 2026, will verify ages without storing personal data. Member states will implement the system, ensuring a decentralized approach to age verification.
