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.

@onepict @EUCommission Yes, I agree. Please hold the actual service providers and big tech firms accountable that make lots of money off the citizens!

@EUCommission @Numerfolt @onepict asking children and adults to identify themselves online isn't to hold tech companies responsible. Let's not implement this until the app uses ZKPs and has been thoroughly tested!
