Brussels. The European Union will table legislation after the summer aimed at limiting children's access to social media, as the bloc steps up efforts to protect young users from the harmful effects of online platforms.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the plan on Monday, saying children should have the opportunity to develop away from the influence of algorithms that increasingly shape online behaviour.
She said the proposal would introduce stronger safeguards for minors, with age verification expected to form a key part of the new rules.
