Happy Saturday everyone! Here are the key stories from this week: 🔍 Highlights 1. EU investigators target Google, YouTube, Apple & Snapchat over child safety The European Commission sent requests to major tech firms asking how they verify age, block harmful content, and protect minors under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The stakes are high: noncompliance could mean fines of up to 6% of global revenue.🔗The Wall Street Journal 2. Italian families sue Meta & TikTok over child addiction & age limits In Milan, a group of parents filed a lawsuit claiming Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are failing to enforce under-14 age restrictions and using manipulative algorithms that promote overuse and mental health risks.🔗Reuters 3. Australia’s eSafety warns kids exposed to real-life gore online A troubling finding: ~22% of children aged 10–17 in Australia have encountered violent, graphic content (bombings, dismemberment, etc.) pushed via autoplay or algorithmic suggestions. Platforms are being urged to tighten moderation.🔗News.com.au 4. Harry & Meghan launch initiative to protect kids online Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “Parents’ Network” is partnering with advocacy orgs to step up awareness and action on AI risks, data privacy, and social media safety — especially for children.🔗People.com If more people all over the world follows what the Italians are doing, I am sure the tech giants would instantly become more "proactive" with safety measures. The most painful muscle to work out is always the pocket!

I am dedicating a full day every week to get to know better our founding members. The plan initially is to have this available with the first 100 members to join, but maybe I will keep it going for longer depending on how it goes 😁 Click here and book it (yes, it is free): Book an 1-on-1 with Andre All I ask is that you please let me know beforehand if you will not be able to make it 😉 Looking forward to meeting you!
