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

But they aren't doing it to protect children, they are doing it to harvest biometric data, so why would they actually police the platforms instead? (as they should do if they wanted to protect children)
