She told an EU summit that an expert panel was due to come up with steps on how to protect minors online by July.
Ursula von der Leyen, présidente de la Commission européenne, a annoncé que l'UE pourrait proposer une interdiction des médias sociaux pour les enfants dès cet été, en réponse aux pressions croissantes des États membres pour renforcer la protection des mineurs en ligne.
La presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen, criticó el modelo de negocio de las grandes plataformas tecnológicas que tratan a los menores como "mercancía" y abogó por retrasar el acceso de los niños a las redes sociales, responsabilizando a las tecnológicas de garantizar la "seguridad" de sus servicios.
La presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen, declaró que la Unión Europea debería estudiar la posibilidad de limitar el acceso de los niños a las redes sociales, proponiendo nuevas normas en los próximos meses.
La Commissione Europea ha annunciato un'app per verificare l'età degli utenti dei social media, con l'obiettivo di limitare l'esposizione dei minori ai contenuti online, sottolineando che spetta ai genitori educare i propri figli, non alle piattaforme.
La Commissione Europea sta valutando la possibilità di proporre regole a livello UE per ritardare l'accesso dei bambini ai social media, in risposta alle preoccupazioni riguardo ai rischi per i minori online.
