UAE bans social media for children under the age of 15, Parents in Dubai welcomes
The UAE has joined a growing global movement to protect children online, setting 15 as the minimum age for social media use under a new Cabinet resolution. The move puts the UAE alongside Australia, the UK, Indonesia, and Malaysia in restricting children from creating or accessing personal accounts on social platforms, a decision widely welcomed by parents and schools. Platforms will have up to 12 months to comply through a transitional period. The resolution responds to mounting concerns over children's exposure to inappropriate content, unsafe interactions, excessive usage patterns, and the harvesting of their personal data. Parents associated with the Screenwise UAE campaign, who have been advocating limiting smartphone access until the age of 14 and delaying children’s entry into social media till they are 16, are perhaps the happiest about the official ban.
