Where Efforts to Ban Social Media for Kids are Taking Place

Spain has proposed a ban on social media for kids under the age of 16, joining a growing number of countries that have moved to protect children and teens from potential online harms.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the ban on Tuesday at the World Government Summit in Dubai, where he criticized tech companies for failing to rein in disinformation as well as illegal content like child sex abuse material and sexualized deepfake images on their platforms.
