What the reporting establishes
What happened
The Financial Times reports that the European Union will propose gradual social-media access for different ages in response to child-safety concerns, including a ban for children under 13.
Pressure point
A proposal is not an enacted or enforced rule. Age assurance can create privacy risks and migration to less regulated services unless lawmakers specify data minimization, appeals, and platform accountability.
What to watch
The Commission's legal text, age bands, verification methods, privacy safeguards, member-state support, platform obligations, and the timetable for votes and enforcement.
