| 66. | Providers of online platforms accessible to minors that use recommender systems, in the provision of their service should adopt the following measures to ensure a high level of privacy, safety and security of minors: (a) Provide minors with the opportunity to reset their recommended feeds completely and permanently. (b) Within the prioritisation of parameters and metrics related to accuracy, diversity, inclusivity and fairness, provide information and nudge minors toward searching for new content after a certain amount of interaction with the recommender system. (c) Assess whether, in light of the specific features of the platform and in order to ensure a high level of privacy, safety, and security of minors on such platform, it considers it appropriate to ensure that minors can choose an option of their recommender system that is not based on profiling. This recommendation is without prejudice to the obligations of providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs under Article 38 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. (d) In case that, as a result of the assessment referred to in the point above or as a result of the obligations stemming from Article 38 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 in relation to the providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs, they have put in place an option of their recommender system that is not based on profiling, assess whether this should be provided as a default setting and if they consider it appropriate, put in place the necessary safeguards and transparency measures to inform minors of such option and the potential consequences of turning off such default setting. (e) Ensure that relevant reporting and feedback mechanisms set out in Section 7.1 have a swift, direct and lasting impact on the parameters, editing and output of the recommender systems. This includes permanently removing reported content and contacts from recommendations (including content reported for hiding and blocked/reported contacts) and reducing the visibility of similar content and accounts.
