European Commission proposes KIDS Act to strengthen protection of minors online
The European Commission adopted the 17 september 2026 a proposal from the KIDS Act for digital services and AI systems used by minors in the Union. In particular, the text proposes to prohibit access to social networks before 13 and to set 15 the European minimum age to open an account alone, with a gradual approach and more parental control. It also requires suppliers to demonstrate that their services are age-appropriate and safe by design. At this stage, it is a legislative proposal: its provisions are not yet definitive obligations and can evolve during the European process.
What it can change: If your audience includes teenagers, start to clearly distinguish between content, forms, communities and campaigns for minors. Avoid building your acquisition solely on the algorithmic targeting of young people.
