A tale of two gates.
Brussels has tried to pass chat control four times. Member states are quietly building an age wall around teenagers. Two policy fronts, 27 governments, one interactive - run the council vote yourself.
Chat control and the age-gating of social media in the EU: four years, 27 governments, one interactive. Run the council vote yourself and watch the age wall go up country by country.
This edition ships as a full-screen interactive. Two policy fronts, one continent: on one side, chat control - the law that keeps almost passing Brussels since 2022. On the other, the age wall - the country-by-country rush to fence teenagers off from social platforms.
