What does the UAE’s new Child Digital Safety Law actually change for families, teens, and tech platforms?

The law shifts the focus from reacting to online harm to preventing it in the first place by requiring digital platforms to offer age-appropriate experiences for users under 18, strengthen default privacy and safety settings, restrict harmful content and data use, and take responsibility for systemic risks, while parents are expected to exercise reasonable supervision without facing penalties and children are not criminalised — do you feel this prevention-first approach will genuinely make the online space safer for young users, or will it be difficult to enforce in practice?
