‘No Social Media Under 13’: EU Unveils Three-Tier Plan To Cut Kids’ Access To Social Networks

While von der Leyen did not mention AI chatbots or online gaming in her address, a draft of the proposed legislation shows the KIDS Act would contain provisions concerning them.

European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen has announced plans to ban social media access for children under 13, while those aged 13 to under 15 would only be allowed to use limited, parent-supervised accounts under the newly unveiled KIDS Act.

“No social media under the age of 13. No personal account under the age of 15," she said. “That means from 13 to under 15, only mini accounts, set up and supervised by parents or guardians, with limited features and time restriction to one hour a day."
