The European Union (EU) Commission is seriously considering the issue of banning children's use of social media.
AzEdu.az reports, citing foreign media, that officials of the institution emphasized that all possible options in this direction are on the table and the possibilities of implementing a unified regulation across the EU are being investigated.
At the daily press conference held regarding the issue, EU Commission spokesperson Thomas Renye answered journalists' questions. He noted that consultations are continuing within the framework of close cooperation with member states to ensure the digital safety of children.

Renye noted that the work is currently in its initial stages and added that a precise timetable for the implementation of the ban or other regulatory mechanisms has not yet been determined.
