The United Arab Emirates has enacted legislation restricting social media access for children under a specified age. The new Cabinet resolution aims to protect minors from online risks and potential harms. Details regarding the exact age limit and implementation mechanisms have not been fully disclosed, but the move aligns with a global trend of increasing regulation of youth social media use. Authorities cite concerns about cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and the impact on children’s mental well-being as driving factors. The UAE joins other countries implementing similar measures to safeguard younger citizens in the digital sphere. Further details on enforcement and parental controls are expected to be released. This legislation reflects a broader international debate about balancing online freedom with child protection.
