EU NGOs, experts urge stricter regulation over ban on minors' social media

Over 130 associations and experts have sent a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen opposing a potential ban on social media for minors, advocating instead for stricter regulation. The Commission is expected to announce measures on September 16 to strengthen online protection for minors, possibly including an age-based ban. The outcome is uncertain as the letter signals organized opposition to a key policy option.
