The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.
From harmful content and cyberbullying to addictive online designs, concerns about the risks children face online are growing across Europe.
Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use. Let us give childhood back to our children.
That is Europe's principle; that is the basis of the Digital Services Act.
@EUCommission Yes absolutely, but not with age verification please.
Hold providers like Meta and Alphabet to account.
Except that isn’t! You are actively assisting big tech with this move.
Asking children and adults to identify themselves online isn't holding big tech companies responsible!
Verifying who everyone is with government ids is not a solution. It’s a massive data breach waiting to happen.
You are enabling much much more harm to children and everyone using the internet by pushing this narrative of verification.

I agree completely with this statement. Requiring children and adults to dox themselves. It is the digital version of having to pass an identification checkpoint every other block, or go into a bookstore, or talk to each other in public, with a corporation or the government taking notes about what everybody is doing and who they talk to.
@EUCommission oh, right... this you just a few days ago?
Just admit that you expect climate breakdown induced food shortages to incite widespread mass protests and you need fascist aligned surveillance tools to control the populations when that happens, all because you weakened environmental protection rules to placate corporations owned by the billionaire class so you could meet short term cancerous economic growth demands!
Ursula von der Leyen has halted a previously planned multibillion-euro fine against Google at the last minute. In an open letter released today, more than 30 organizations are calling on the Commission President to impose the fine promptly and thus effectively enforce the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
@EUCommission @Numerfolt @onepict
Where are the bills of those fines? 🤔
Because you say you fined X, Meta, Google, Gandhi or Mother Theresa does not mean they paid.
What was the money used for? American holidays for Ursula Von der Liar?
We know how servile the #EU is with #USA and #Israel.
This is not about the children.
Is about CONTROL of everyone. Kindly remind us... How many times yoi tried to pass ChatControl law?
Forbid those american companies to operate in Europe. If they wanted, they could open servers audited by the EU so they dont transfer data to a foreign countries. And usage of open source software. Auditable by anyone. Of course they never will do or allow that. Mother Ursula will be sure her american children eat alm the european data they can get.
🤬🤬🤬
And they must pay taxes on every country in the EU. No tax deduction allowed on any country of the EU.
No Frontex. Erase that project. We don't want an European ICE. Be aware this is not America, and you can start a real revolution that you will not be able to stop. 😒
No fucking age verification, biometric authentication or health data given to foreign countries. And forbid social networks for non adults, your childrens safe as well.
That is how it should be done.
But you will not while you're the lap dogs of USA and Israel.
Instead of the european citizens that elect the parties that put you there and pay your salaries with europen public money.
Therefore you should be accountable for any problems that could arise of your wrong implementation in this issue.
