EU proposes age limits and safeguards for children's social‑media use

EU child social media age limit age verification addictive design removal UK teen curfew online child protection

An expert panel commissioned by the European Commission has recommended that children under 13 be allowed to use social‑media platforms only under parental or teacher supervision, with a phased‑access model that gradually increases autonomy up to age 18. The report calls for mandatory age‑verification systems, the removal of addictive design features such as autoplay and infinite scroll, and a “youth mode” that disables targeted advertising. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the recommendations will be taken into account as the Commission prepares a legislative proposal expected after the summer, with a final rollout likely in the autumn.

The United Kingdom has announced its own measures, introducing a default overnight curfew that blocks 16‑ and 17‑year‑olds from social‑media apps between midnight and 6 a.m. unless they change the setting. Technology minister Liz Kendall said the curfew aims to improve sleep, concentration and family time. Both the EU and UK initiatives echo policies already adopted in Australia, which banned social‑media access for children under 16.

If adopted, the new rules would shift responsibility for child safety from parents to platform operators, requiring them to prove that their services are safe by design and to enforce stricter age‑verification checks across the EU.
