Protection of minors online (debate)
Mr. President, I was saying that today, from here, we want to send a very clear message that our children are not a business. We are totally in favour of digitalisation, seizing all the opportunities of digital transformation, adapting and growing with digital platforms, learning to combine the physical and the digital, as well as using the potential of artificial intelligence. But look! We are concerned about the increase in mental illness and violent, extremist, fascist and illegal attitudes that are sometimes being promoted unfiltered and unchecked. So we need some order in those algorithms, which we neither know nor control. We know they're working on it. We know that it is not easy either because it affects many strategic areas, but there must be red lines and the manipulation of our minors is undoubtedly one of them, because they are our future.
