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.
