Teens to be banned from social media?

[Paul Markham]

Teens to be banned from social media? Internet age restrictions could rise to 16 in EU law.

Is Europe really going to ban teenagers from Facebook and the internet?

If it wasn't costing us Europeans any money, it would be funny. These bureaucrats love to spend money looking like they have a clue.

we need to protect teens from pornographers ;)

Agreed. Got any suggestions how?

Apart from installing Net Nanny.

So you telling me that the communist EU spends tax money on discussing what other things need to be banned and made illegal?

Aren't 16+ also teens?

[Manfap]

Under 16 yo's aren't on FB anyway.
Teens abandoned it years ago.

Well technically anyone under the age of 18 aren't on the internet. Their parents are, at least they signed the contract with the ISP....

Did anyone get the Microsoft email and see the parental controls?

These will be 100% more efficient than anything the EU does.
