| 3. | These guidelines aim to support providers of online platforms in addressing these risks by providing a set of measures that the Commission considers will help these providers to ensure a high level of privacy, safety and security of minors on their platforms, which will contribute to the protection of minors, which is an important policy objective of the Union. These guidelines also aim at helping the Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs) and competent national authorities when applying and interpreting Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. For instance, making minors’ accounts more private will, among others, help providers of online platforms reduce the risk of unwanted or unsolicited contact. Implementing age assurance measures (5) may, among others, help providers reduce the risk of minors being exposed to services, content, conduct, contacts or commercial practices that undermine their privacy, safety and security. Adopting these and other measures – on matters ranging from recommender systems and governance to user support and reporting – may help providers of online platforms make online platforms safer, more secure and more privacy preserving for minors.
