Commission seeks feedback on proposed EU Kids Act

The European Commission is gathering feedback on the proposed EU Kids Act, which aims to improve online safety for children with measures such as a social‑media delay, safety‑by‑design rules, privacy‑preserving age assurance, and enforcement mechanisms. The feedback period ends on 26 November 2026, after which responses will be summarised and presented to the European Parliament and Council.

Why it matters: The consultation will shape EU‑wide rules on child online safety, privacy and age verification.
