Alright, trying an ELI5 here.

Big internet platforms like YouTube, Instagram etc. will get new rules in the EU

Less relevant/targeted ads for minors
Ads are not allowed to target you based on your gender, ethnicity etc.
More transparency and more control over which content will get shown to you

Instagram will give you a chronological feed
TikTok will give you some trending stuff within your region
EU only
