The United Arab Emirates has announced a complete ban on social media use for children under the age of 15. The UAE Cabinet issued a directive setting 15 as the minimum age for accessing social media platforms. The decision follows growing concerns over children’s exposure to inappropriate content, unsafe interactions, data collection, and excessive use of digital platforms.
According to the government, all social media companies operating in the country, including Meta, TikTok, and X, must comply with the new regulation. Platforms are required to use advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital identity verification to confirm users’ real ages. Declaring age manually will no longer be accepted.
All accounts belonging to users under 15 must be immediately closed, and any attempt to bypass the rule will face strict action. Advertising based on children’s data or behavioral profiling is also prohibited. Platforms have been given up to 12 months to fully adapt to the new requirements.
