Growing up now is growing up online.
Young people in Europe spend much of their lives in digital spaces where they connect, learn and express themselves.
But they can also face risks like cyberbullying, disinformation and harmful content.

Or by realising that big techs put children into their ecosystem starting by the very schools, making it way harder for children to leave such ecosystems as they grow up

If you want to help for real then fight facebook and tiktok and other platforms that push algorithmic dopamine machine and gambling concepts on anyone that unlocks a screen.

The only thing age verification will do is reduce privacy and identify victims as targets for those who want to exploit them. -

Instead of listening to the thousands of IT security and digital policy experts warning you of the massive dangers and discriminatory effects of age verification, you are mindlessly storming forward with half-baked ideas and ideological tunnelvision. That's not the EU I love and support. Shame on you.

Ban surveillance advertising.
@EUCommission@notsoloud @DrJLecter @EUCommission Banning advertising wouldn't solve brain rot, the problem doesn't lie in the advertising part, it lies with the network itself.

I have a better idea. What if you require privacy, safety and security for *all* platforms? That way you also don't have to breach it yourself with age verification.

@Karolina @EUCommission I agree, I often use the comparaison of "Would you like a government official in your bedroom at all times?" -> "No, but..." -> "There you go".
The answer is usually "But it's not the same!!!".
Right, the only difference is one sees you for sure, while the other might or might not see you. -

Right, the only difference is one sees you for sure, while the other might or might not see you.@Karolina @EUCommission That being said, let's make one thing very clear, it has nothing to do with fascism.
Surveillance lies in both extremes of the political spectrum.
I wouldn't exactly call the UK, France and China fascist states, but the surveillance there is very real and the UK and France don't even fall in the extremes, actually they're not even right wing right now, but it's a fact that these two are the most surveiled Western European countries. -
