The European Commission recently officially published the proposal document for the "EU Child Bill" and decided to re-stipulate age restrictions regarding social media use by minors within the EU.

On December 10, 2025, a social media ban for minors under 16 years old officially came into effect in Australia. This marks the world's first implementation of a minimum age restriction for social media through legislation. Following this, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and others successively introduced new regulations and established age restrictions.

According to statistics from Reuters, related bills restricting minors' social media use have currently been passed in 10 countries, and 9 countries are planning to submit related bills. (Provided by/CGTN Japanese)
