With the Kids Act, Europe wants to radically redefine the rules governing social networks accessible to minors

The European Union is proposing new regulations under the Kids Act aimed at protecting minors on social media platforms. These measures include banning addictive mechanisms, limiting algorithms, restricting access to microphones and cameras, and preventing contact with unknown minors. The proposed rules apply to all minors, not just those under 13 years old, and represent a significant overhaul of current social media governance.
