The United Arab Emirates has become the first Arab country to ban social media for children under the age of 15, setting a minimum age for social media use.
The UAE follows a host of other nations planning similar laws regulating access to social media for children, including the UK, Australia, and Malaysia.
The move comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children's mental health, online safety, and screen time.
Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, are also pursuing stricter regulations, with plans to ban children under 16 from using several major social media platforms.
