The harms encountered by minors online are numerous, multi-faceted and well documented. In the EU and beyond, legislators are increasingly turning to age-gating as a potential solution to these harms. However, this is far from a simple fix: besides various fundamental rights implications, recently published research by the Center for Democracy and Technology also shows that this is not a solution favoured by minors and their parents. This workshop will begin with a brief introductory conversation with experts. The conversation will then open to all workshop participants in a fishbowl format, allowing a dynamic exchange of diverse views. The participants will be invited to reflect on the issues previously introduced, such as the blind spots of current policy discussions and their understanding of the technical and fundamental-rights implication of solutions to protect minors online, while thinking creatively about what is really needed, and what different actors can contribute towards it.
