Impatient with Brussels, European capitals forge ahead with social media bans

European governments are moving forward with their own regulations on social media for children, despite the EU's recent proposal. Leaders sought unified age restrictions to avoid varying national rules. The EU Kids Act, proposed by Ursula von der Leyen, aims to ban under-13s from most social media and limit access for those under 15. However, some countries are implementing stricter national laws, potentially excluding more children from these platforms than the EU's proposal suggests.
