We’re issuing new guidelines under the Digital Services Act to protect minors online.
These recommendations target:
➡️️ Addictive design
➡️ Cyberbullying
➡️ Harmful content
➡️ Unwanted contact from strangers
We will ensure that children and young people can continue to enjoy the online world while minimising risks and exposure to harmful content.

@EUCommission Most of these are great and I cheer them on!! No really, most of these are great!
But again... we're trying to pretend that adding surveillance to porn consumption is somehow going to accomplish something.
You really think that kids won't find ways around that? like you know..... A VPN....
Whenever you see political things that 'protect minors' always think about if it's a cover for something....
@thibaultmol @EUCommission making it difficult / complicated is sufficient to some extent. There will not be a perfect solution.
Side note: I love to see that someone has put thought into the HOW of age verification. Looking forward to seeing an implementation of this...
