EU Commission signals possible backtrack on child social-media ban in SOTU

EU Commission President von der Leyen appears to be softening her stance on proposed social-media restrictions for children ahead of the State of the Union address, raising concerns among victims' advocates. The shift follows sustained pressure from tech platforms and internal EU debates, but no final decision has been announced. This matters because it signals a potential policy reversal that could affect child safety regulations across the EU.
