  1. "Digitale Räume zwischen Schutz, Verbot und Selbstbestimmung"

    Beim Mediensalon des Netzwerks "Interaktiv" München am 28. April 2026 haben wir uns mit der aktuellen Diskussion um Social-Media-Verbote oder alternative Handlungsoptionen beschäftigt.

    Ein Rückblick und Mitschnitt sind nun online zu finden: interaktiv-muc.de/rueckblick-m

  2. Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification.

    The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody.

    That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.

  3. Michael Geist: “This post examines at least six reasons why an outright age-based ban, particularly one that extends to AI chatbots, is the wrong response to a serious issue.”

  4. The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms.

    Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that.

    We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

  5. Papers, please!

    Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms.

    More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

  6. The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work.

    The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it.

    Digital ID age checks come at the cost of everyone's privacy and free expression. The math ain't mathing.

  7. “In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds.

    These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.”

  8. Following #Australia’s #socialmediaban for #children under 16, a survey found over 60% of #teens still accessed platforms like #TikTok, #YouTube, and #Instagram. The ban, aimed at addressing mental health concerns, has been criticised for potentially discouraging platforms from implementing safety features and pushing young users to unregulated internet spaces. fortune.com/2026/04/25/austral #tech #media #news

  9. Norway is leading the way in reclaiming childhood. 🇳🇴 The government has announced plans to ban social media for children under 16, aiming to protect young minds from addictive algorithms and digital pressures.

    If you want age verification and social media bans for minors, but don't want to forbid the sale of food with added sugar to children, you lie every time you say you want to protect children from harms and addiction.
