Countries Propose Social Media Restrictions for Minors to Address Online Safety

Several countries, including Australia, Britain, France, Denmark, Greece, Poland, and India, are introducing or considering laws to restrict social media access for children under ages ranging from 13 to 16. Measures include mandatory age verification, parental consent requirements, and potential fines for non-compliant platforms. These efforts aim to address concerns about minors' mental health and online safety, with some legislation already enacted and others pending approval or development.
