EU Kids Act LIVE: The European Commission unveils sweeping new rules to protect children online, banning social media for under-13s.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Tech Sovereignty chief Henna Virkkunen present the EU Kids Act in Strasbourg — a law that would ban social media accounts for children under 13, introduce restricted “mini-accounts” with parental oversight for 13-15-year-olds, and require platforms to build safer default settings for users aged 15-18. The proposal still needs approval from the European Parliament and all 27 EU member states before it becomes law.
