    EU Commission President Unveils EU KIDS Act Social Media Age Limits

    European Commission President von der Leyen presented the EU KIDS Act at a high-level dialogue in New York, banning social media for under-13s and personal accounts for under-15s. Children aged 13 to 15 would only use parent-set and supervised mini accounts with limited features and a 60-minute daily cap that parents can reduce. The law would reverse the burden of proof, requiring platforms to demonstrate their services are safe for children or lose access to them. She cited a July Eurobarometer finding that 92% of Europeans want more action to protect children online.

    EU Unveils KIDS Act: No Social Media Under 13

    European Commission Executive Vice-President Virkkunen presented the EU KIDS Act, which bars social media use under 13, allows 13-15 year-olds access only through guardian accounts, and imposes safety-by-design obligations for users under 18. Platforms must prevent stranger messaging, personalised ads and addictive features, and a framework for age verification and parental tools is established. The Digital Services Act had already led to investigations into TikTok and Meta.

    European Commission Adopts EU KIDS Act to Restrict Social Media Access for Children

    On September 17, the European Commission adopted the EU KIDS Act proposal, prohibiting social media platforms from accessing children under 13 and setting an EU-wide minimum age of 15 for minors to open their own accounts. The Act is structured around four pillars: social media delay, safety-by-design, privacy-preserving age assurance, and effective enforcement. Platforms must prove their services are age-appropriate and safe by design, and submit compliance plans. The proposal has been submitted to the European Parliament and Council for examination.

    EU Commission to Propose Digital Fairness Act

    EU Commissioner for Consumer Protection McGrath said at a Dublin conference on online safety for children and young people that the Commission will present a Digital Fairness Act (DFA) by the end of this year to close gaps in consumer protection rules for the digital age. The DFA could address dark patterns, misleading influencer marketing, unfair personalisation and personalised pricing, subscription-management difficulties, and drip pricing paired with dynamic pricing, and may consider switching off attention-maximising features by default and prohibiting loot boxes for minors. The Commission has already issued preliminary DSA findings against Meta and TikTok.
