    The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.

    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 Not only children. All user should be not manipulated. This way, no age verification is needed.

      @EUCommission Does 92% Europeans know, that the way to it is a massive surveillance machine, that would make Stasi green with envy? This is what the kids should be protected from.

        @EUCommission Yes absolutely, but not with age verification please.

        Hold providers like Meta and Alphabet to account.

        @onepict @EUCommission Yes, I agree. Please hold the actual service providers and big tech firms accountable that make lots of money off the citizens!

          @EUCommission

          If you are serious about this, start regulating platforms.

          Instead of subjecting everybody to "verification" processes that lock adolescents out. Processes that merely enable platforms and their "partners" to collect more and more data about #EU citizens, destroying even the tiny bit of privacy that is still left.

            @EUCommission I'm sure this was a very comprehensive poll that was in no way biased towards your insane policies. After all, no one is *against* children's protection. But everyone with half a brain is against the totalitarian regime you're building under the guise of "protecting the children".

              @EUCommission It’s a shame you start with framing the results before releasing the full report.

              > The full Special Eurobarometer on the Digital Decade results will be published in June 2026 as part of the 2026 State of the Digital Decade report package.

                @EUCommission and one person, that’s me, keeps saying; that’s the responsibility of the parents and the tools to protect your children are becoming easier and easier to use. Most of them are, by the way, free of charge. They come as a package with the Internet provider.

                Go and start doing something useful. For starters: create a uniform European capital market.

                  @EUCommission Complete right. But be aware, Age Verification will solve not a single problem that is listed on this site, but it will break a lot of basic laws and kill privacy.

                            They don't care one bit for kids, or they would pursue totally different policies *and* properly apply the ones that exist.

                            They pretend to care to cover up their true aim: to abolish our democratric rights of privacy. They're far-right authoritarians just like the US tech fashs, Trump, the Heritage Foundation et al.

                              The best way to protect children in digital and online environments is to end big tech's sacrosanct right to make obscene profits in any unregulated environment. Block commercial activity in insufficiently regulated systems, and legislate quickly in these cases! Enough of spending years looking at each other and approving the rule when the novelty has worn off, it is obsolete, and the big business is already elsewhere.

                                @EUCommission please fix this with ISP’s and good parental modes on the ISP, and teach parents to be less digital illiterate, and teach them about parental mode on their ISP’s, not by letting everyone upload an ID to a central database or by scanning every message on a hidden list of keywords and hashes, that list can thus be abused…, unless its block chain and only independent childrens safety agencies are allowed to add hashes to it for example

                                    @EUCommission Yet, instead of sanctioning Meta, X, etc. for their anti-democratic, predatory algorithms and business practices, you are engaging in age discrimination and victim blaming. Talk to the ones affected by your legislation, instead of pushing it on them without their participation in the process or their consent.

                                    Stop big tech from preying on all of us, instead of blocking children from accessing the services of our modern world

                                      @theloopfarm @EUCommission so you're that kind of "father" that don't care about his children's safety.
                                      Ok, you must be proud of yourself 😂😂

                                        @EUCommission without privacy there’s no checks on the people in power. Privacy is the foundation of accountability, without it, power goes unchecked. Think of journalists or politicians who can’t do research without sitting power knowing about it if there’s no privacy, look at China etc.

                                          @EUCommission 92% wanting something is a one thing, but how many % do agree on which method?
