DSA for YOUthEurope-wide campaign explains the Digital Services Act

The Digital Services Act (DSA) has been in force since 2024. However, many citizens are still unaware of the benefits the DSA brings for them. A Europe-wide campaign entitled "DSA for YOUth" now aims to change this. As part of the campaign, all citizens will receive a lot of information about how the DSA protects them and what benefits it brings, especially for children and young people.

Europe-wide campaign explains the Digital Services Act

The "DSA for YOUth - Protecting minors by design" campaign focuses on the DSA guidelines for the protection of minors. This includes measures for age verification and age appropriateness. As part of the campaign, these rules are translated into easy-to-use, clear and practical resources. These are designed to help children and young people navigate the internet safely.

The campaign is aimed at different target groups. Whether you are a parent wanting to provide a safe digital environment for your child, a teacher wanting to lead classroom discussions or a young person wanting to use platforms on a daily basis, this campaign is for everyone!

Over the coming weeks, there will be various resources available to help you learn more about protecting minors under the DSA. These include toolkits, family-friendly brochures and video contributions from young people. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in online events and webinars and learn from experts how the European Commission and Safer Internet Centers across Europe work.

Some of the resources are also translated into German. However, all content is currently only available in English.
