EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says it is “time for change” regarding children’s access to social media. Her remarks follow the publication of a new survey that highlights concerns about what children encounter online. According to the reporting, the survey finds that children are exposed to harmful content, including violence and hate speech, as well as other types of damaging material. Von der Leyen’s comments frame the issue as requiring policy or regulatory action to better protect minors from online risks. Both outlets report the same core message: the EU chief calls for changes prompted by evidence from the survey about children’s exposure to content that can be harmful. The coverage does not specify the exact measures being proposed, but it emphasizes the need for adjustments to how children access or use social media platforms. The comments are presented as part of broader efforts to address online safety for minors and reduce their exposure to harmful content.
