Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has announced its support for proposals establishing a uniform digital age of majority across the European Union. Under these proposals, minors below the set age would require parental consent to access social media platforms. This initiative aims to enhance online safety and protect younger users. The specific age for digital adulthood is yet to be determined, but the move signifies a potential shift in how social media companies approach user verification and child safety regulations within the EU.
