Original: The # EUCommission has told Member States to pause national laws that restrict # SocialMedia access to # minors , accord

The European Commission has instructed member states to hold off on national laws restricting social media access for minors, Politico reports. According to the Commission, any draft national rules overlapping with future harmonized EU-wide regulations will be postponed for 12 months while the bloc prepares its own common framework.

Why now: The decision affects countries moving to ban social media for children and raises questions about how EU-wide rules for minors will look.
