UAE Imposes Regulatory Restrictions to Protect Children Under 15 on Social Media Platforms

The United Arab Emirates has enacted a series of new regulatory restrictions that prohibit and limit the use of social media platforms for children under the age of 15. This move is part of a comprehensive government strategy aimed at protecting minors from exposure to harmful content, curbing cyberbullying, and combating digital addiction. These measures coincide with growing international calls by the UN to provide safe digital spaces for children and to enhance parental and educational supervision, fostering a healthy balance in the use of modern technology.
