EU to restrict social media and chatbots for children under 15

Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, has confirmed plans to advance a draft law banning social media for children under 13. The EU aims to prevent apps from depriving children of their childhood, requiring big tech platforms to prove product safety. Additionally, the EU intends to restrict social media and chatbots for those under 15. Von der Leyen described AI as the second tipping point of our time, following the impact of climate change.
