EU Plans Social Media Ban for Under-13s and Limits for Teens | Star Commune

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled sweeping plans to protect children online, proposing to ban social media for anyone under-13 and require supervised accounts for those aged 13-15. The proposed EU Kids Act would also limit children's daily social media use to one hour maximum.
Transcript
00:00No social media under the age of 13, no personal account under the age of 15, that means from
00:0913 until a child turns 15, only many accounts that are set up and supervised by parents or
00:18guardians with limited feature and time restriction to one hour a day maximum.
00:24For years platforms have denied the harm they created.
00:30They have tried to avoid prescriptive rules and set rules at their own pace.
00:36We're changing that with the Kids Act.
00:38This puts the parents in the driving seat and the burden of proving safety on the platforms
00:46where it belongs.
00:47Thanks.
