For digital spaces built on safety, transparency, and freedom.
We brought together top experts for our new Special Panel on child safety online.
We are looking into real solutions, like harmonised age limits for social media across all EU countries , and making sure tech platforms step up to protect young minds.
We are here to help make the internet a safer playground.
@EUCommission Regulating the business model of big tech social media, particularly targeted advertising and algorithmic manipulation, is much more difficult.
Why not remove the incentives for platforms to maximize engagement through outrage or addictive algorithms?
The answer is that it takes courage.

@EUCommission
Right, so your mission is to keep kids from talking to other kids? Or to monitor all their conversations for bullying? What exactly are you going to stop? -

@EUCommission How about you leave parenting to the parents instead of restricting people's privacy? Child safety is a very comfortable excuse for malicious laws.
All chat surveillance and age verification should be dead and buried six feet under. Otherwise we will soon live in a surveillance state. -

@EUCommission Listen to the voices in Australia reporting on how age restrictions and surveillance are failing kids and adults here and don't make the same awful mistakes! Make Big Tech take responsibility for the damage they've wrought.

@EUCommission this is just an excuse to usher in government censorship. It has nothing to do with actually protecting kids.

@csepp @EUCommission Not all parents bother or have the time... sad but true
@ivolimmen @EUCommission Yep, that's one of the big problems. Although I'm in favor of *meaningfully* regulating platforms, if a kid is raised by YouTube, they will likely not be okay.

@EUCommission Age limits require age verification, and age verification means bureaucratically identifying everyone online. Everyone.
That's transparently incompatible with the goal and implementation of the GDPR, and will impose massive regulatory burden and risk on internet services, who'll have to handle PII they might never have otherwise had to handle.
And for what? So we'll all be fake USians when signing up for things, to avoid giving Peter Thiel our passports? Lose the GDPR entirely?

@EUCommission You're saying nothing concrete but I can't help but feel like whatever you're planning is dystopian control freakery.

@EUCommission This is one salutary proposal. Kids need to be shielded from all the non-sense social media stuff. Some adults too, but one step at a time.
@drionescu @EUCommission So you are saying we should start surveilling and censoring what kids see on the internet and then do the same for adults you don’t like

@EUCommission Parent here. I decide appropriate age limits for my kids.
Not you.

The quote of @HennaVirkkunen below the linked article is starting with the right words:
"Children must be able to explore, learn and play online - safely. The Digital Services Act makes platforms responsible for ensuring children are safe online"The solution for this would be to make the online world safe and to prohibit algorithms in anti-social media.
The solution for this is certainly not to block the children from the online world with age limits. -

Is this just an orphaned link campaign paired with some images, or will @EUCommission engage in commentary on their post? I think it would be wise to chat with the mastodon crowd. I feel alt-text is a pause on post feature, but I have surfaced to lazy descriptions in them. I have spent some time figuring out how to write alt text, and I have tried using generators to write them, still i will not be 100% satisfied. Here is an explainer i found https://www.kwbell.eu/mastonotes/alt-text-for-mastodon-images/

@troed @EUCommission Same here. Stop playing fucking iron nanny and invading my family's privacy and safety. My child's safety is my responsibility, as well as teachers' and other caregivers' they spent time with, not the state. Stay the hell out!

#AgeVerification is not a "solution", but both a convenient cop-out for you, so that you cowards needn't address platform regulation;
and a much welcome vehicle to amass more and more data of every single person, ready to use for you and even more fascist governments to come.
Nobody believes you.

@EUCommission No, we don't need age restrictions and to give up privacy. You need to apply existing laws and taxation to X, Meta and Tiktok.

@EUCommission "think of the children"

@ivolimmen @csepp @EUCommission then they probably don't have time to look after them properly in other respects either. We have laws around child neglect already

@EUCommission Unlike you, I've read all the responses here, so I have little to add.
But, making "see" the operative verb in your misleading propaganda, using (lazy) uncaptioned images, is specially galling.
Do YOU see us, hear us, perceive us, acknowledge us?
This account gets more insulting each day.

So che la strumentazione delle sonde nelle missioni a lunga distanza (tipo Voyager) è alimentata con il plutonio. Le sonde delle missioni su Giove e Saturno come erano state alimentate?

Ah, [false] Spring, and the lovely gurgle of water flowing across the driveway. Also, it's flipping 71°! (22C)

Southern Ontario (or even Canadian) friends... my CAA membership expires in 4 days. Should I re-up so I can get help if I need it (battery assist/towing), or just put a reputable towing company in my address book? ($136/yr vs one-time towing cost of $250)
Didn't need CAA this year, but who knows. Car's 10 years old now, running fine for now.
