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 It is great guidelines I really approve! It can contribute to more healthy social media, though why limit it to minors? Adult population is also exploited by social media corporations and is vulnerable to the addictive patterns. I think the guidelines should be valid for all group ages, and proper regulations should be introduced so that social media begins again to be social, instead of being a propaganda and manipulation tool that ruins lives.

Less age verification and potential privacy breaches, more addressing issues that affect everyone.

Also, "Prohibiting accounts from downloading or taking screenshots of content posted by minors" can't be easily enforced technology-wise, bad actors will just know how to skip this, and I don't think it's that important, it can create more inconvenience as sharing memes, their art possibly is the usual stuff that happens.
