EU Proposes Kids’ Social Media Age Limit Under New Children’s Act

This is less a content-moderation story than a signal that the EU is willing to legislate platform design itself, following a pattern already set outside Europe. The direct targets are large social platforms operating across member states, which would face a single bloc-wide standard rather than a patchwork of national rules. The open question is whether the proposal's age limits and design obligations survive the legislative process intact, and how platforms respond in the meantime.
