Reguli pentru toate reţelele sociale, după acordul cu Meta din SUA, solicitate de ONU - Economica.net

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has called for rules to protect children on social media following Meta's recent settlement in the U.S. Meta agreed to pay up to $17 billion and restrict teen access to Instagram and Facebook in about 50 states. Turk emphasized that children should not have to wait for legal measures to navigate safely online and urged governments to take initiative. He highlighted the need for a safety-focused approach across the sector and criticized the reliance on age restrictions alone. Meta's agreement addresses only part of the broader legal battle regarding social media's impact on youth mental health, with ongoing investigations in the EU as well.
