European Commission
Original (EN) 150sec
Summary
The European Commission has proposed an EU-wide framework to ban under-13s from social media, AI chatbots and online games, requiring platforms to verify user age through Commission-certified tools including the European Digital Identity Wallet. This is a major regulatory signal that could drive EUDI Wallet adoption at scale across platforms, but the proposal still requires EU government and Parliament approval; negotiations may change the final rules.
