Commissioner for Human RightsFeb 23
Several European countries are considering social media bans for children. We must regulate platforms, not children. We must shift the burden of safety from the children to the corporations that profit from the environment.

I urge caution:
✅ Focus on "safety by design"
✅ Demand algorithmic transparency
✅ Enforce the #DSA & #HumanRights standards
✅ Consult experts, civil society and children

@commissionerHR Excellent shout out! Let's not forget that a large part of what's good about the internet is "user generated content", like Wikipedia. Let's not throw out the baby (all the information, supportive environments, harmless entertainent) with the bathwater (the actually harmful content)!
