EU to propose age-15 minimum for unsupervised social media use

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will unveil digital rules in her State of the Union address that would set a minimum age of 15 for unsupervised access to platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The proposal marks a significant regulatory push on child safety, but details on enforcement and platform obligations remain unclear. This could set a precedent for EU digital policy and impact tech companies operating in the bloc.
