The European Commission will propose the EU Kids Act this Thursday to increase online protections for minors. The legislation establishes a minimum age for accessing digital services, including social media, video platforms, and games.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will detail the plan during her State of the Union speech on Wednesday. The proposal considers a complete ban for children under 13.
Minors aged 13 to 15 would require parental consent to access digital platforms. The act also introduces new enforcement structures to regulate service providers.
