European Parliament Recommends Social Media Age Limits

European lawmakers on Thursday approved an opinion proposing that children under 16 require parental consent to access social media and that under-13s be barred entirely. The non-binding opinion urges privacy-friendly age verification, algorithmic transparency and inclusion of restrictions in a future Digital Fairness Act, and flags AI-related risks like misinformation and manipulation. It aims to guide the European Commission’s legislative approach.
