2026年9月17日，歐盟委員會推出了《歐盟兒童法案》(EU KIDS Act)，這是一項具里程碑意義的立法提案，旨在徹底改革數位時代的兒童安全規範。
On September 17, 2026, the European Commission introduced the EU KIDS Act, a landmark legislative proposal designed to overhaul child safety in the digital age.
該法案不僅針對社群媒體，還涵蓋了線上遊戲、應用程式商店及AI聊天機器人，試圖以一套統一且強力的標準，取代歐盟各國零碎的國家法律。
By targeting not only social media but also online games, app stores, and AI chatbots, the Act seeks to replace fragmented national laws with a unified, robust standard across the European Union.
開發人員現在必須確保遊戲預設為安全，摒棄那些觸發「錯失恐懼症」(fomo)或導致過度使用螢幕的操縱性設計。
Developers are now tasked with ensuring games are safe by default, moving away from manipulative design features that trigger 'fear of missing out' or excessive screen time.
此外，單純的出生日期聲明將不再有效；法案強制要求採用「零知識證明」(zero-knowledge proof)技術，在不損害隱私的前提下驗證用戶年齡。
Furthermore, simple birthdate declarations will no longer suffice; the Act mandates 'zero-knowledge proof' technology to verify a user's age without compromising their privacy.
儘管該提案旨在保護18歲以下的未成年人，但對遊戲產業而言卻帶來了嚴峻的合規挑戰。
While the proposal aims to protect minors under 18, it presents significant compliance challenges for the gaming industry.
隨著該提案在歐洲議會進行審議，它反映了全球保護年輕用戶免受數位環境負面影響的趨勢，成為科技與遊戲法規的重要轉折點。
As the proposal moves through the European Parliament, it reflects a growing global movement to shield young users from the negative impacts of digital environments, marking a major turning point for tech and gaming regulations.
