Our joint research on children's safety and privacy online just published
YouGov, Humankind Research and Homo Digitalis conducted a survey on online safety and privacy for children in Greece, which shows high levels of concern among adults and young people.
-What percentage of Greeks are concerned about children’s online privacy?
-Do they believe that children have little control over how their data is collected and used?
-Who do Greeks believe is primarily responsible for protecting children online?
The survey also highlights the critical need to invest in raising awareness among Greek citizens, both adults and non-adults, on issues of privacy, protection and safety online.
You can find the survey and learn more about its results:
We submitted a joint letter with noyb.eu to the European Data Protection Board for its opinion in the Meta case
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) will soon issue its most important opinion to date: it will determine whether we still have a realistic option to protect our right to privacy online!
In November 2023, Meta adopted the “Pay or Okay” approach. Since then, users are forced to either pay a “privacy fee” of €251.88 per year or agree to be monitored. The supervisory authorities of the Netherlands, Norway and Hamburg have therefore requested a binding opinion from the EDPB on this issue.
If “Pay or Okay” is legalised, companies in all industry sectors could follow Meta’s lead – which could mean the end of real consent in the use of our data.
Homo Digitalis has now joined forces with 27 other civil society organisations including noyb.eu, Wikimedia Europe, Bits of Freedom and Forbrukerrådet/Norwegian Consumer Council to urge the EDPB to issue an opinion that protects our fundamental right to data protection!

Educational Action of Homo Digitalis at the Music School of Larissa
In the context of Homo Digitalis’ actions for the awareness and information of students, our member Anastasios Arampatzis visited on February 9th the Music School of Larissa!
There, with more than 370 high school students, we discussed about digital bullying and ways of dealing with this phenomenon, as well as about our digital footprint and the rights provided by the legislation for the protection of personal data.
The discussion covered broader topics such as AI, the use of cameras, the ethics of using technology and more. The students have excellent knowledge on many topics but also have key questions and concerns to which they are seeking answers!
We would like to thank the Headmistress of the School, the Teachers’ Association and the EPAS Schools – Ambassadors of the European Parliament team for the invitation and hospitality!
