UAE Imposes Restrictions on Social Media Use for Children Under 15

The United Arab Emirates announced the imposition of regulatory restrictions on the use of social media platforms by children under the age of 15. The decision aims to protect minors from inappropriate content, reduce the risks of digital addiction and cyberbullying, and safeguard their privacy. This move comes in response to international calls from organizations like UNICEF for safer digital environments, and reinforces the role of families and educational institutions in providing guidance amid the increasing reliance on digital technology.
