From harmful content and cyberbullying to addictive online designs, concerns about the risks children face online are growing across Europe.
Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use. Let us give childhood back to our children.
That is Europe's principle; that is the basis of the Digital Services Act.
@EUCommission
Parents are responsible. Not companies.
Also, digital safety doesn't allow for mass surveillance (called age verification) -

@EUCommission You could dismantle the whole attention economy by making it impossible to offer their services for free while making their users the product. Just by regulation, without any tech.
If for-profit social media would not be free, most kids would have no access. In fact, most adults would stop wasting their life there too. It would not only solve child safety, but make everyone’s life better. Without the need for age verification and building a surveillance state.

@EUCommission Avete toccato un tasto che qui, sul fediverso, non dovevate toccare.

@EUCommission Regulate companies not people.

Hello @gnemmi!
Yes, we are holding tech companies accountable. Our Digital Services Act gives us the legal means to do so. You can read more about it in this recent example:
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commission-preliminarily-finds-meta-breach-digital-services-act-failing-prevent-minors-under-13@EUCommission @gnemmi Then why did Ursula von der Leyen scrap a fine to Google last week without any explanation? How is that holding them accountable for violating dsa?

@EUCommission All is good but age verification systems are not the solution.

Thank you for your comments, @Numerfolt and @onepict.
Holding tech companies accountable is exactly what we are doing, and will do more of.
Check out our deep-dive on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEaEsJRENPE&t=2sExcept that isn’t! You are actively assisting big tech with this move.
Asking children and adults to identify themselves online isn't holding big tech companies responsible!
Verifying who everyone is with government ids is not a solution. It’s a massive data breach waiting to happen.
You are enabling much much more harm to children and everyone using the internet by pushing this narrative of verification.

@EUCommission very high. Good.
You've made quite a few laws ensuring child safety.
Let's consider a law successful if children are safe.
Have the unsuccessful tries been revoked and the incompetent supporters been removed?
No - you definitely should. Child safety is important. But I consider abusing children for mass surveillance as child abuse. -

@EUCommission by providing a method to verify that a person is an adult, you are implicitly also adding a method for bad actors to verify that someone is underage, and someone they can take advantage of. The only safe solution is for sites to know less about their visitors, not more.

@EUCommission seriously, stop it with the age verification bs. Hold tech companies accountable without this glaring privacy violation. This is not what Europe wants to be known for.

Just admit that you expect climate breakdown induced food shortages to incite widespread mass protests and you need fascist aligned surveillance tools to control the populations when that happens, all because you weakened environmental protection rules to placate corporations owned by the billionaire class so you could meet short term cancerous economic growth demands!

@EUCommission no need to add my comment to share what I think about it. I think you guys know that this is NOT a solution, nor is it close to being anything like a "solution"
