Critics say EU child safety rules could break the internet

Debate is growing over the EU's child safety proposals, which critics including tech commentator Louis Rossmann argue amount to mass surveillance and would undermine privacy online. Opponents say age verification and monitoring requirements would harm ordinary users and centralise control of the internet, while supporters frame the rules as necessary protection for children. Privacy and security advocates are pushing back hard against the plans.
Why now: Renewed scrutiny of EU online child protection legislation has reignited arguments over privacy, surveillance and censorship.
