The European Union is preparing a proposal to restrict access to social media and artificial intelligence chatbots for minors under 15. The plan provides for gradual access to different services depending on users' age.
The proposal will still need to be negotiated and approved by European institutions before coming into force. The objective is to create stricter rules to protect minors from potentially harmful content and interactions.
The companies that offer these services will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the new rules. Furthermore, they will have to fund the monitoring that will be carried out by national and European regulators.
