United Arab Emirates introduces stricter social media regulations banning users under 15 from accessing platforms, as part of new digital safety reforms aimed at protecting children online. The policy requires mandatory age verification using official identification or approved digital systems before account creation or continued access. Authorities stated the move is intended to reduce exposure to harmful content, cyberbullying, and privacy risks among minors. Social media companies operating in the country will be required to comply with the new rules or face penalties. The regulations reflect growing global concerns about children’s online safety and responsible platform governance in digital spaces worldwide today. (PC: X)
