The European Union is taking steps to prohibit the use of social media for children under 13 years old. This initiative aims to develop EU-wide standards after several member states introduced limits on social media use by teenagers. The move is part of a global push to restrict children's access to these platforms.

Further details on the plan are available, including the role of the European Commission president in announcing the initiative. Some countries have already taken similar steps, with Australia banning social media for minors under 16 years old in December 2025.
