EU chief proposes social media, online gaming and chatbot ban for kids under 13

It's part of the already-discussed proposal of a social media ban for under 15 year olds[1], which includes the aforementioned complete ban on under 13 year olds.

To note is that 13-15 year olds can get restricted access under parental supervision.

Von der Leyen said that under her proposal “mini accounts” chaperoned by guardians would be granted to kids aged 13-15.

How cute.

It's the wrong way to go about the issue. Instead, mandate control over the recommendation algorithms. Now THAT could actually change something. And is for good reason the worst nightmare of TikTok, Facebook and Twitter.

While they obviously have no significant issue with age control. Because it doesn't hurt them.
