Aren't under-13s already banned from social media? I remember setting my birth year to 1977 rather than 1997 to access Facebook :P

Also, this should be handled by the parents/guardians, and the EU should provide a free and open source tool for parental control (social media blockers) on computers, phones, and other devices. Nothing less and NOTHING MORE.

No, most sites prohibit under 13 because they simply do not want to deal with the special requirements of COPPA.

Oh, okay. Got it. Thanks for clarifying!
