TLDR
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined the EU Kids Act in her State of the Union address, Silicon Republic reports. The proposal would bar children under 13 from social media, require guardian-controlled accounts for ages 13 to 15 and impose safety requirements for users under 18. It would apply across the EU if adopted. The announcement is a legislative proposal, not a ban already in force.
