EU Commission adopts a recommendation on a European Age Verification Solution to help ensure minors are protected online. The solution, now ready for Member States to customise, will allow users to browse the internet privately while preventing access to unsuitable content for children. The Commission will also set up an Age Verification Scheme to establish criteria for providers of proof of age services and publish lists of those meeting high privacy and security standards. Alongside, preliminary findings show Meta’s Instagram and Facebook breached the Digital Services Act by allowing under‑13 users to create accounts. The Commission plans to discuss the recommendations with Member States at a Telecom Council meeting in Cyprus.
