Do EU want forbid social media for minors?

Question is floating with headlines like this one from BBC:

EU needs to delay social media access for children – von der Leyen

It all sounds scary at first. Digital gulag, age verification and internet deanonymization, all that jazz.

But what is a “social media” EU got scared so much of?

How this applied to federated platforms and protocols like ActivityPub and Fediverse?

How this applied to messengers? Especially to “small” messengers? Or federated, like Matrix or DeltaChat or SimpleX or XMPP-based stuff?

It all does not have sense beyond WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram, when it goes to Messengers, and FB & Instagram, or IX, may be Reddit and Youtube with TikTok.

But as it happens, state not just impose some restriction against something but defines it in the most stretchy and rubber way possible, so anyone can be declared a criminal just because. It just depends on pure luck, on whether some people in power will use new restrictions to block Kremlin propaganda and disinfo, or these restrictions will end up into making EU yet another bastion of internet censorship and suppression of human rights.
