They wrote out strict A's checks for new accounts and shut down old ones, all to fight how these platforms hook kids with endless scrolls and risky. Content that messes with their health. The push is growing worldwide, with places like Denmark, France, Germany, the UK, and even Canada, eyeing similar rules to protect young minds from, screen addiction.
