Ensuring Online Safety for Children

Social media platforms are required to comply with UK data protection laws to enhance the safety of children online. New regulations mandate measures such as age verification and content filtering to prevent children from encountering harmful content. In response, platforms like X have stopped serving ads to users under 18, while Viber has eliminated personalized advertising for children. A survey indicated that many parents feel they lack control over their children's data management, underscoring the need for effective enforcement of these protective measures.
