Brazil raises minimum age for social media and AI to 2026<\/h2>\n

Brazil will raise the recommended age for using social media and artificial intelligence (AI) applications starting in 2026. The new regulation will set the age limit at 12 for messaging apps, 14 for AI chatbots, and 16 for social media, according to a document obtained by Radar Big Tech. The measure obligates app stores and digital providers to verify users' ages and prevent children from accessing inappropriate content, impacting major companies like Apple, Google, Meta, and TikTok.<\/p>\n
