Joint Letter to the President of the European Commission on enforcing EU digital regulations for children

Ahead of the 2025 State of the Union, 22 organisations, experts, Members of the European Parliament and Members of the Intergroup on Children’s Rights have written to President von der Leyen calling for stronger enforcement of EU digital regulations to protect children online.

Children make up one in five internet users in Europe, yet too often face manipulation, unsafe design, and declining mental health in digital spaces. The letter urges the EU to stand firm in its leadership through the Digital Services Act and the AI Act, and to ensure these protections are effectively implemented across the Union.
