EU Commission stalls national plans for social media bans

Original: Social-Media-Verbot: Brüssel bremst nationale Vorhaben aus EU-weites Tabu für TikTok und Co.? Die Verhandlungen auf euro

The European Commission is pushing back against national attempts to introduce interim bans on social media platforms such as TikTok, arguing that member states should wait for EU-wide rules rather than acting alone. Negotiations at European level could drag on, leaving countries that want stricter limits on children's and teens' platform use in limbo. The move has sparked debate over whether Brussels is protecting the single market or delaying child protection.

Why now: Brussels is blocking national stopgap bans on platforms like TikTok, raising questions about how long EU-level negotiations will take.
