It says there are ongoing discussions with the company.

The European Commission says the ball is in Meta's court when it comes to proposals to safeguard children online in the EU.

It says there are ongoing discussions with the company.

The owner of Facebook and Instagram has agreed to introduce new protections for teenagers in the United States, in the wake of an €18 billion settlement there.

However, Meta has denied claims platforms are designed to get children hooked.

Daily time limits and night-time blocks will be brought in in the US.

The European Commission wants protections being rolled out there to be mirrored in the EU.
