The DSA guidelines explained: what online platforms should do to keep kids and teens safe online

This easy-to-read series explains how the DSA protects minors by design, and the meaning of some key terms and concepts in the DSA, the guidelines on the protection of minors online, as well as those related to age assurance and age verification.

What happens next?

The European Commission and EU Member States continue to work to ensure platforms follow the DSA and keep children and young people safe online. This includes:

checking if platforms follow the guidelines on the protection of minors under the DSA, and starting legal proceedings if they don’t
testing and rolling out the EU age-verification app
developing an EU action plan against cyberbullying
analysing how social media use can impact mental health in children and teens

Be sure to revisit the DSA section of the BIK portal regularly to stay up-to-date on the latest developments.
