A CONNECT University session on what is the EU doing to protect people especially children from the potential risks of digital technologies and online harms.
Digital society and digital technologies bring with them new ways to communicate, entertain, explore, and fulfill ambitions. Digital transformation brings many challenges, particularly when it comes to protecting people, especially children, in the digital realm.
Social media platforms can be the home of dangerous cyberbullying and online harassment. The addictive nature of some digital technologies, such as gaming or social media, can contribute to mental health issues, and prolonged screen time and excessive use of digital devices can exacerbate stress, depression, and feelings of isolation.
Given the publication of the third State of the Digital Decade report, EC is organizing an open workshop on the link between digital and health. This workshop aims to verify if the EUs content-moderation rules are tough enough to protect people from online harms and potentially addictive apps.
