Commission seeks feedback on EU KIDS Act

The Commission is gathering feedback on the proposed EU Kids Act.

The aim is to collect input from children, parents, guardians, teachers and educators, as well as online platforms covered by the proposal. It will build on the broad public evidence base that supported the proposal, including the report of the co-chairs of the Special Panel on child online safety, dedicated consultations with children, parents and educators, and the 2026 Children's Online Experiences Research.

Adopted in September, the EU KIDS Act will enhance the online safety of children throughout the Union by introducing a social media delay, strong safety-by-design rules, privacy preserving age assurance, and effective enforcement.

The feedback period closes on 26 November 2026. All responses received will be summarised by the European Commission and presented to the European Parliament and Council with the aim of feeding into the legislative debate.

Provide your feedback until 26 November 2026 (midnight Brussels time).
