European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen set out a sweeping plan to keep children safe from online dangers on Thursday, proposing to ban under-13s from social media and require online services to design safe children's accounts.⁣ ⁣ "Today, our children are engaging with some of the most sophisticated technology ever created, and it was not created with children's well-being and development in mind," von der Leyen told a press conference.⁣ ⁣ She said the proposed EU Kids Act "will set clear boundaries in the digital world just as we do it on a daily basis in the real world".⁣ ⁣ #socialmediaban #europe #eu
