PoliticsSocial media limits are coming for teens across Europe

The European Union is considering sweeping new controls on children’s and teenagers’ access to social media. Possible measures include age limits, an outright prohibition and a phased system for access. Platforms could also be required to demonstrate that their services are not harmful before young people may use them. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has spoken about the proposal.
