• There is ongoing discussion in the Irish parliament and policy circles about setting a digital age of consent or minimum age (e.g. 16) for social media access. This debate is driven by concern over youth wellbeing, although no formal law has yet been enacted.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you actually think thats what is motivating this
There is an age verification law in Ireland they might be referring to, but it only applies to companies which operate from here and not ones which simply allow Irish residents to access them.
Notably including "X international unlimited company". Not Reddit though, they technically operate from the Netherlands despite having a presence in Dublin.
