The European Union has intensified scrutiny of U.S. tech giants Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Snapchat (SNAP) regarding child safety protocols on their platforms. Regulatory actions under the Digital Services Act compel these firms to disclose measures preventing underage access to harmful content, including gambling services and explicit material.
France and Spain spearhead the push for stricter controls, mirroring Australia's proposed ban on social media for users under 16. Snapchat faces specific inquiries about age verification systems and illicit product sales, while Apple and Google must detail app store safeguards against 'nudify apps' and other high-risk downloads.
