Hello @alnitak! DSA fines can reach up to 6% of a provider’s total worldwide annual turnover. The exact amount is calculated case by case, taking into account, the nature of the breach, its gravity, especially the scale and seriousness of impact on EU users and systemic risks.

@EUCommission I can't believe I used snapchat as a teenager. Looking back I can not believe how did I let myself being exposed to that amount of toxic and illegal stuff because of FOMO.
Very good initiative

@EUCommission age verification is nothing less than institutionalized identity theft.
Citizens of democratic countries upholding the rule of law shouldn't be asked to forward their ID to private organizations that aren't held liable for the implemented security and the internal usage of this sensitive data.
Moreover countries like the USA now do a full check of SM contents for everyone entering the country. A burner phone won't be enough when the police can link other accounts to an ID.

@EUCommission not only minors: also adults. The techniques are dangerous. They are already illegal. We do not need to age restrict to let adult get toxic behaviours.

Btw there are better ways to protect children from online harm than with chatcontrol which include nationwide distributions of “Digital Self-Defense” materials, security-by-design apps, deleting reported materials immediatly and so forth.
You do know that if chatcontrol was reality, you also make it impossible for minors to anonymously seek help from f.e. abusive households and you only think of the children as moral ammunition to further your goal for online mass surveillance.
