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.
We want to ensure a safer online environment for them:
The Digital Services ActThe EU Action against cyberbullyingMental health supportThe EU strategy on child sexual abuse onlineAge-appropriate protections@EUCommission y'all are swinging and missing with this one. There are so many questions about this protection I have that anyone who has been a teen with internet could come up with (or, really, anyone who knows what teens get up to) that y'all have not even addressed.
It honestly reads like an attempt to introduce means of control and not a real attempt at providing safety.

Australia shows that excluding under 16 years old from social media is just tackling symptoms. people will always find workarounds. its not a longterm solution, especially not working towards digital sovereignty for people.

Its weakness is that it relies on you to enforce it. Laws that are not enforced don't protect anyone.

@phnt @EUCommission does anyone even listen to corporate media anymore other than old people?

@iju To make Internet safe for “young Europeans (aged 16–29)”... let’s force the businesses check the age of everyone who looks under 30?
No. This does not sound like a plan. There must be better ideas?
I'm not sure what you're saying, but you may have understood me wrong.
The internet is damaging due to dark patterns of the social media companies, and their reckless use of their platform for scam advertisements, etc.
This is not a problem that can be solved with age verifications, but by enforcing stricter standards on the companies. People have right to safe environment when they're 18, 31, and 80.

You will save more kids doing that, if you truly care bout them. Of course it's only an excuse to control the population.
Fuck #ChatControl !!!

@iju I’m totally agreeing with you.
The absurdity I was trying to point out: plans to force age checks don’t make sense, if the goal is to keep “young Europeans (aged 16–29)” safe (I’m citing @EUCommission’s picture here). Verifying that a young person is of age does not make them more safe, if they are then still exploited the same way than without the age checks.
What age-appropriate special protections would we require specifically for 16–29-year-olds?
