⚑️πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡³πŸ‡± NEW - Spain and the Netherlands are pushing for a common minimum age for social media across the EU that could also affect video games and AI chatbots.

The aim is to replace 27 different sets of rules with a single EU-wide approach to protecting children online.

They also want social media companies to do more to protect children from addictive algorithms, harmful content and features designed to keep users online longer.

Spain and the Netherlands want an EU system that can confirm a user meets the minimum age without forcing platforms to collect more personal information than necessary.
