Episode Details

Europe’s top tech watchdogs are pushing for a unified minimum age to use social media across the continent, aiming to shield kids under 13 until platforms prove they’re safe — with Ireland leading the charge as EU president. Child safety advocates cheer the move, citing rising risks like cyberbullying and grooming, especially through gaming apps. While some kids bypass age limits, evidence shows many actually log off when rules are enforced. France already bans under-15s, and countries like Denmark and Sweden are following suit. The EU plans to unveil new regulations this fall, with Ireland ready to act independently if needed.
