Comisia Europeană pregătește KIDS Act: Vârstă minimă pentru acces la TikTok sau Instagram pentru copii

The European Commission is set to introduce the KIDS Act, establishing a common minimum age for children's access to social media across the EU. This legislation will encompass not only social networks but also video-sharing platforms, online games, and AI chatbots, while educational tools will be exempt. The proposal aims to enhance child safety online and includes a 'safe by design' principle to mitigate risks. Discussions have highlighted the need for a minimum age, with suggestions ranging from 13 to 16 years. The act will also provide additional tools for parents and may involve new oversight mechanisms for high-risk services. The proposal will require negotiation and approval from the European Parliament and member states before implementation.
