The European Commission will officially present this Thursday a new legislative proposal aimed at regulating social media. This proposal comes in the context of growing concerns about the safety of younger users on digital platforms.
The proposed legislation will not be limited only to social media, and should also cover video sharing platforms and online games. Additionally, chatbots and so-called artificial intelligence "companions" will be included within the scope of these new rules.
The new rules include age-based limits for users, as well as parental control tools. These measures aim to provide greater protection to younger users who use these digital services.
The proposal will be officially presented by the European Commission, indicating that these new rules are part of a broader approach by the European Union to regulate the digital environment and particularly protect the most vulnerable age groups.
