Children under 16 could be banned from posting, commenting and reacting on social media. Social media platforms would have to verify child users and provide age-appropriate content. Vietnam has proposed new rules to prevent children under the age of 16 from posting content, commenting or reacting on social media platforms to improve online safety for minors. Earlier this year, the UAE became the first Arab country to ban children under 15 from holding social media accounts. The UK followed shortly by proposing a ban on social media access for under-16s alongside new restrictions affecting gaming platforms, and Türkiye passed a sweeping digital law introducing tighter rules for both social media and gaming services.
