EU leaders eye social media ban for children under age 13
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen indicates that EU leaders are moving toward establishing a minimum age requirement for social media access, potentially around 13 years old, though final decisions remain with parents and member states. The statement reflects growing consensus among European policymakers that age-based restrictions on social media use warrant coordinated action.
Why it matters: Organizations operating social media platforms in the EU should monitor upcoming legislative proposals, as age-gating requirements could trigger significant compliance obligations and potentially affect user acquisition strategies in European markets.
