Summary
The EU is pushing for a sweeping ban on kids under 15 using social media, paired with new AI chatbot rules to create safer online spaces — but child protection expert Dr. Aisling Parkes warns that blanket bans could silence young voices and limit expression. She advocates for personalized, age-sensitive approaches, urging tech giants to take real responsibility for designing ethical platforms instead of relying on government restrictions. Drawing on France’s recent legal rejection of similar bans, she insists the solution lies in empowering youth and holding corporations accountable — not locking kids out.
