@EUCommission Looks like another “think of the children “ attempt to force identification on people to me, folks.

@EUCommission it would be nice if you would consider actions against this platform that does NOT lead everybody to share there ID to continue using it but to directly democratise it!

@EUCommission Please recommend that, if found to be liable, Snapchat is fined as a proportion of their annual turnover, not some paltry fixed fine capped at a figure far lower than what they regularly generate in a week! Regulation that can be dismissed as simply a cost of doing business is not a deterrent to these corporations. Any fines must give them pause, and dissuade them from similar misbehavior in the future

@EUCommission What is missing here is: Parenting.Parents neglecting their kids by giving them unfettered access to the internet.We don't need governments to take away our privacy and our rights, because some people are shitty parents.You decide to have kids, you take responsibility.

Hello @alnitak! DSA fines can reach up to 6% of a provider’s total worldwide annual turnover. The exact amount is calculated case by case, taking into account, the nature of the breach, its gravity, especially the scale and seriousness of impact on EU users and systemic risks.

Hello @hauntshade ! This is not about replacing parental responsibility. Our aim is to make sure children are empowered and protected online, and here digital literacy can play an important role for children, their parents, and teachers. Tech platforms also have a responsibility to ensure the safety of users online, and we will continue working to make sure they live up to that responsibility.

@EUCommission @hauntshade It is. If a parent gives phone to children at young age and let them do whatever they want without explaining the risks of being online, they failed as a parent.Also, the "platforms are responsible to ensure users safety" is quite vaque.

@EUCommission Bravi! Ma sarebbe il caso di farlo anche tutti gli altri social closed source e magari usare la mano pesante, perché le multe non bastano.

@EUCommission I am all for holding tech platforms accountable, but i am against any form of age verification that requires submitting an ID. We already know how that ends. We have already seen it, again and again. Companies get hacked. Data gets breached. And suddenly your ID information is out there.I also believe there should be a bigger focus on educating parents, putting more responsiblilty in their hands.Anyone remember how to use “Parental Controls”?

@EUCommission I can't believe I used snapchat as a teenager. Looking back I can not believe how did I let myself being exposed to that amount of toxic and illegal stuff because of FOMO.Very good initiative

@EUCommission age verification is nothing less than institutionalized identity theft.Citizens of democratic countries upholding the rule of law shouldn't be asked to forward their ID to private organizations that aren't held liable for the implemented security and the internal usage of this sensitive data.Moreover countries like the USA now do a full check of SM contents for everyone entering the country. A burner phone won't be enough when the police can link other accounts to an ID.

@EUCommission Btw there are better ways to protect children from online harm than with chatcontrol which include nationwide distributions of “Digital Self-Defense” materials, security-by-design apps, deleting reported materials immediatly and so forth.You do know that if chatcontrol was reality, you also make it impossible for minors to anonymously seek help from f.e. abusive households and you only think of the children as moral ammunition to further your goal for online mass surveillance.

@EUCommission Why are you not concerned about giving kids those horrible devices in the first place?

@EUCommission I hope Snapchat gets sued by European Commission, EU needs tech sovereignty.
