Social Media Banned for Children in This Country; Australia and the UK Have Also Imposed Restrictions

UAE Social Media Ban: Following Australia and the UK, the UAE has now restricted children's access to social media platforms. Companies have been granted a 12-month period to ensure compliance with these regulations.

UAE Social Media Ban: After Australia and the UK, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has joined the list of countries banning social media for children. According to reports, the minimum age for using social media platforms in the UAE has been set at 15 years. This means children under the age of 15 will not be able to use social media platforms. The UAE has become the first Arab nation to take this step.

Children Will Not Be Able to Create Social Media Accounts

Under the new rules, children under 15 will not be permitted to create, operate, or use social media accounts. Consequently, they will be unable to post content, comment, share, or join public groups on these platforms. While children over 15 are exempt from the ban, additional safety measures will be implemented for those aged 15 and 16. Users in this age group will be prevented from communicating with strangers, and platforms will be required to introduce safeguards such as screen time management, parental supervision, and age-appropriate content controls.
