Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The European Union is preparing new rules that could limit children’s access to social media. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the Commission will present a proposal after the summer based on recommendations from an expert panel on child online safety. The panel recommends: - No screen time for children under 3. - Supervised internet and social media use for children under 13. - Social media companies should prove their platforms are safe for children before allowing young users access. The proposal is not law yet. It still needs to be formally introduced by the European Commission and approved by the European Parliament and EU member states before any new rules take effect.
