The European Union (EU) is expected to soon unveil a bill to gradually restrict the use of social media by teenagers under the age of 13. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced at a press conference held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, on the 13th that she will announce a bill to restrict access to social media by teenagers under the age of 13 after this summer. He emphasized, “Our children need time in the real world to play, build friendships, and make mistakes. They need time to form their own identity and personality before algorithms.” At the same time, he added, “Use should be limited to platforms that have ensured safety from the age of 13.” As Australia implemented a ban on social media for youth under 16 in December last year, there are growing voices calling for similar measures in European countries. EU member states, including Spain, Greece, Austria, France, and Denmark, are pursuing measures to legally ban minors from using social media. Regulatory authority over online platforms in the region
