Better Internet for Kids

If a platform is used by kids and teens – or if it’s likely they may access it – then the platform must follow the DSA rules and the guidelines for the protection of minors.

Certain websites made for grown-ups can't just say “kids are not allowed” in their rules and ignore what’s really happening. If they know that younger people can get onto their site, they have to follow the guidelines.

Platforms covered by the guidelines include:

	social media platforms (such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Yubo and BeReal)
	video-sharing and streaming sites (like YouTube and Twitch)
	games where users can play and create their own content or games (like Roblox and Minecraft)
	any website or app where users can view, post, and share content (like Discord and Reddit).

Note: The DSA does not apply to private messaging services or features.
