The Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) of the European Commission visited the offices of the Representation of the European Commission in Athens, holding a series of discussions within the framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA) with various stakeholders and interested parties.

On Tuesday, September 30, a meeting was held on the topic of “Protection of Minors,” aiming to exchange views while taking into account the Commission’s recent Guidelines on Article 28 of the DSA and the need to strengthen the protection of minors online.

Homo Digitalis had the honor to participate in the discussion alongside representatives from independent authorities (EETT, Hellenic Data Protection Authority, National Council for Radio and Television), as well as representatives from the Ministry of Digital Governance, the academic community, and other organizations.

We warmly thank Ilektra Makraki, representative of the European Commission Representation in Greece for the DSA, for the invitation and inclusion. Homo Digitalis was represented at the meeting by its Co-founder and Executive Director, Eleftherios Chelioudakis.

On June 13, Homo Digitalis submitted its responses to the European Commission’s Public Consultation regarding the guidelines for the protection of minors online, within the framework of Article 28 of the Digital Services Act.

The responses to the questionnaire were accompanied by a study, which provided a more detailed explanation of the relevant proposals and concerns.

The editorial team for this action consisted of Stavrina Chousou, Anastasios Arampatzis, Alkmιnι Gianni, Kalliroi Grammenou, and Lamprini Gyftokosta.
