Brussels pauses national social media age limits for a year, pushing one EU-wide rule

برسلز نے قومی سوشل میڈیا عمر کی حد ایک سال کے لیے روک دی، ایک یورپی قانون پر زور

ब्रुसेल्स ने राष्ट्रीय सोशल मीडिया आयु सीमा एक साल के लिए रोकी, एक यूरोपीय नियम पर ज़ोर

Brussels pauses national social media age limits for a year, pushing one EU-wide rule

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • The European Commission has told EU capitals to wait 12 months before adopting national laws that overlap with its planned EU-wide social media age rules, so that one rule covers all 27 countries instead of a patchwork of different limits.
  • Austria is the first country caught by the pause: its plan to bar children under 14 from platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, due from January, cannot now be adopted before late July 2027.
  • Under the proposed EU KIDS Act, children under 13 could not have social media accounts at all, young teenagers would get parent-managed accounts with limited features, and teenagers could open their own accounts from 15.
  • یورپی کمیشن نے یورپی یونین کے دارالحکومتوں سے کہا ہے کہ وہ اپنی مجوزہ یورپی سوشل میڈیا عمر کی حد سے متصادم قومی قوانین کو اپنانے سے پہلے 12 ماہ انتظار کریں، تاکہ مختلف حدوں کے بجائے تمام 27 ملکوں پر ایک ہی قانون لاگو ہو۔ آسٹریا اس روک سے متاثر ہونے والا پہلا ملک ہے: جنوری سے ٹک ٹاک اور انسٹاگرام جیسے پلیٹ فارمز پر 14 سال سے کم عمر بچوں پر پابندی کا اس کا منصوبہ اب جولائی 2027 کے آخر سے پہلے نافذ نہیں ہو سکے گا۔ مجوزہ یورپی کڈز ایکٹ کے تحت 13 سال سے کم عمر بچوں کے سوشل میڈیا اکاؤنٹس بالکل نہیں ہو سکیں گے، نوجوانوں کو والدین کے زیر انتظام محدود خصوصیات والے اکاؤنٹس ملیں گے، اور 15 سال سے وہ اپنے اکاؤنٹس کھول سکیں گے۔ یونان اس روک سے مستثنیٰ ہے کیونکہ اس کا جائزہ یورپی تجویز سے پہلے مکمل ہو گیا تھا، اس لیے 15 سال سے کم عمر بچوں پر اس کی پابندی یکم جنوری 2027 سے پھر بھی شروع ہوگی۔ برسلز کا کہنا ہے کہ مختلف قومی حدوں کو نافذ کرنا مشکل ہوگا اور پلیٹ فارمز ان کی تعمیل نہیں کر سکیں گے، اور اس دوران موجودہ پلیٹ فارم قوانین پر سختی سے عمل کا وعدہ کیا ہے۔
  • यूरोपीय आयोग ने यूरोपीय संघ की राजधानियों से कहा है कि वे अपने प्रस्तावित यूरोपीय सोशल मीडिया आयु नियमों से टकराने वाले राष्ट्रीय कानून अपनाने से पहले 12 महीने प्रतीक्षा करें, ताकि अलग-अलग सीमाओं के बजाय सभी 27 देशों पर एक ही नियम लागू हो। ऑस्ट्रिया इस रोक से प्रभावित पहला देश है: जनवरी से टिकटॉक और इंस्टाग्राम जैसे प्लेटफॉर्म पर 14 साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों पर प्रतिबंध की उसकी योजना अब जुलाई 2027 के अंत से पहले लागू नहीं हो सकेगी। प्रस्तावित यूरोपीय किड्स एक्ट के तहत 13 साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों के सोशल मीडिया खाते बिल्कुल नहीं हो सकेंगे, किशोरों को माता-पिता द्वारा प्रबंधित सीमित सुविधाओं वाले खाते मिलेंगे, और 15 साल से वे अपने खाते खोल सकेंगे। ग्रीस इस रोक से मुक्त है क्योंकि उसकी समीक्षा यूरोपीय प्रस्ताव से पहले पूरी हो गई थी, इसलिए 15 साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों पर उसका प्रतिबंध 1 जनवरी 2027 से फिर भी शुरू होगा। ब्रुसेल्स का कहना है कि अलग-अलग राष्ट्रीय सीमाओं को लागू करना मुश्किल होगा और प्लेटफॉर्म उनका पालन नहीं कर सकेंगे, और इस बीच मौजूदा प्लेटफॉर्म नियमों को सख्ती से लागू करने का वादा किया है।

The European Commission has told EU capitals to wait 12 months before adopting national laws that overlap with its planned EU-wide social media age rules, so that one rule covers all 27 countries instead of a patchwork of different limits. Austria is the first country caught by the pause: its plan to bar children under 14 from platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, due from January, cannot now be adopted before late July 2027. Under the proposed EU KIDS Act, children under 13 could not have social media accounts at all, young teenagers would get parent-managed accounts with limited features, and teenagers could open their own accounts from 15. Greece is exempt because its review ended before the EU proposal, so its ban for under-15s still starts on 1 January 2027. Brussels says different national limits would be hard to enforce and leave platforms unable to comply, and promises strict enforcement of its existing platform rules in the meantime.
