UE pregătește interzicerea reţelelor de socializare şi a chatboților AI pentru copiii sub 15 ani

The European Union is preparing a plan to restrict access to social media and online platforms for children under 15, according to a document reviewed by Reuters. This proposal is part of a legislative package aimed at enhancing child protection online, which will be presented by EU leaders. The plan includes a tiered access system based on age, with stricter controls for younger children. Companies will be required to implement measures to prevent addiction and harmful content, and age verification will be mandatory for new accounts. The initiative responds to growing concerns about the impact of digital services on children's health and safety.
