Ursula von der Leyen makes a plan. The law has the name KIDS ACT. It protects kids on the internet. Kids under 13 years must not use social media. They have no accounts.
Teens from 13 to 15 years get mini accounts. Parents must say yes to them. Kids use the internet with the parents. There are fewer things to do. The screen time is short.
Teens from 15 years can have an account. The apps must be very safe. Bad features are not allowed. Endless scrolling is bad. Strange people must not write to teens.
AI friends are off at first. They do not fake feelings. Profiles of teens are private. The camera is off. The firms show that apps are safe.
Users must show their age. The EU has a new app for this. People use their ID card for it. Firms must keep data safe. Bad firms get big fines.
