European Parliament Committee on Culture and Education has adopted a report calling for stricter enforcement of EU rules on social media safety for minors, including bans on addictive design features, mandatory algorithmic transparency, personal liability for platforms, and a harmonised EU code of conduct for influencer marketing. The report will be voted on by full Parliament in September and proposes consistency across GDPR, DSA, AI Act and other key EU legal instruments.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build or operate a social platform, content moderation service, or recommendation system used by anyone under 18, you now face personal liability and mandatory design changes across the EU by Q4 2026. The Parliament vote in September closes the comment window—compliance costs money now, but non-compliance costs more.
