Scroll infinit, notificări, likes … Cum intenționează „Kids Act” să atace mecanismele rețelelor sociale care crează dependență pentru minori

The European Commission's "Kids Act" aims to regulate social media functionalities that encourage minors to spend excessive time online. Proposed measures include banning access for children under 13, introducing limited accounts for ages 13-15, and enhancing safety features for older teens. The act addresses harmful design practices, such as infinite scrolling and algorithmic recommendations that can lead minors to inappropriate content. It also seeks to limit notifications that disrupt sleep and school time, and to regulate social comparison mechanisms, including beauty filters. Overall, the initiative aims to create a safer online environment for young users.
