## Resource

The EU just unveiled the Kids Act — a bold new plan to force social media giants to prove their platforms are safe for children, shifting the burden from parents to tech companies. Key moves include banning under-15s from creating accounts and restricting access for teens 13–15. While not yet law, this could reshape digital youth safety across Europe — with Ireland watching closely and timing possibly aligning with a US president’s exit, reducing future pushback. The real question? Who gets to decide if these platforms pass the safety test — and who pays the price if they fail.
