EU plans tiered age verification model for digital media

Original: heise+ | EU-Jugendschutz: Mehrstufiges Altersmodell für digitale Medien geplant Der Vorschlag zum EU Kids Act enthält da

A draft proposal for an EU Kids Act sets out a multi-stage age model for digital media, including the long-demanded ban on social media use by children, but the rules would go considerably further than that. German tech outlet heise has published an analysis highlighting the critical points of the plan, which is now drawing attention in discussions about EU youth protection policy.

Why now: The EU proposal combines a controversial social media ban for children with broader age-based rules, making it a timely point of debate in tech and politics.
