Rossella's mother, a twelve-year-old who committed suicide due to addiction to social media, wrote to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to emphasize the urgency of protecting minors from the dangers of algorithms and supporting the Kids Act, which aims to limit access to social networks for those under 13. #KidsAct #SocialMedia #SicurezzaMinori (translated)

​“This is a park area with a working fountain. Naturally, at this time of day, it’s packed with people and children. The weather today brought everyone outside—mothers with toddlers, kids riding bikes—and the strike targeted those exact people.” ​Yurii Yurchenko, chief of the Nova Vodolaha police,

As parents, the images from today horrify us, as parents we do not like the numbers below, as parents we are worried and outraged when it happens, and yes, we would prefer it not to exist, although we have our share of blame regarding social networks. "As parents, the images from today horrify us, as parents we do not like the numbers below, as parents we are worried and outraged when it happens, and yes, we would prefer it not to exist, although we have our share of blame regarding social networks. But we must know them and, above all, we must act at least now, before it is too late. Together with Bogdan Ivan, we are working and will submit a legislative proposal by which we propose: banning access to social networks for children under 14 years old, without exceptions (the average in the EU is around this threshold); access between 14 and 18 years old only with the agreement and supervision of parents, through mandatory parental control mechanisms; banning unsolicited private messages sent by adults to minors, with clear obligations for social platforms. Everything we propose is regulated in countries of the European Union or proposals included in the Kids Act, a set of measures designed to limit the exact negative impact of social networks on minors," said Daniel Suciu, a PSD deputy from Bistriţa-Năsăud, in a Facebook post. #SiguranțaCopiilor #RețeleSociale #LegislațieRomână (translated)

The evidence that this issue is a winner for Republicans (especially if you can get it away from the narrow "transgender kids in sports" framing) is extremely thin. Conventional wisdom credits '24 win partly to "Kamala is for they/them" ad, but national R shift was *smaller* in markets it ran in

Christer Sfeir wrote that Gustav III made Marstrand a free port in 1775 to attract foreign ships, merchants, and capital. According to Sfeir, Jewish merchants and families also came to the island, despite the fact that Jews' opportunities to settle and practice their religion in Sweden were then severely limited. He stated that one of Sweden's early Jewish congregations emerged in Marstrand and that Jews in 1782 were allowed to use a vault in Fredriksborg as a synagogue. The vault, according to Sfeir, still exists today. He also wrote that the emigration began when the free port ended in 1794 and that many moved on to Gothenburg, where they became connected to the city's trade and community life. #Marstrand #Sverige #Historik (translated)

the tl;dr is the kids are rightfully pissed that Macron has been cutting the education budget and current conditions for French students needs to improve tremendously, but the Macron government doesn't want to move on econ, so the harsh repression of protests was opted for instead

Ralf Fuecks asked whether the Greens in Berlin and the SPD wanted to keep youth officers from the Bundeswehr out of schools in order to not militarize Berlin children, and instead wanted to strengthen democracy education. From this, he derived the question of whether the Bundeswehr is seen as undemocratic. #Demokratie #Bildung #Bundeswehr (translated)

The federal government is planning new rules to protect children on the Internet, including allowing access to social networks only from the age of 13 and a training program called "AI Seahorse" to raise awareness among elementary school children about the use of artificial intelligence and social media. #KIDschutz #Medienkompetenz #KünstlicheIntelligenz (translated)

The author said they had recently visited a school that had been told by the EA to wait almost a year for a replacement mobile classroom after its roof collapsed. They said pupils were being taught in the food hall beside the school kitchen, while the EA wanted to give £30,000 to a soccer club. The author called the situation a scandal. #Education #Schools #Funding #GB

Johan Ingerö criticized that libraries sent what he called unfounded reports to social services. He wrote that libraries that believed certain books needed age restrictions should implement such restrictions and compared it to whether cinemas should report children under 15 attempting to watch horror films. https://t.co/B81rHL4cH9 #bibliotek #yttrandefrihet #barnskydd (translated)

Poll reveals that 50% of young Britons would never fight for UK under any circumstances. Cue meltdown on talk radio stations and X. Well at least that's down on the 60% who said the exact same in an Oxford Union debate in 1933. Because... guess what kids... people don't want to fight in wars.

JD Vance called Hasan Nidal's attack "the second worst terrorist attack in American history," behind only the 9/11 attacks. Vance chose to ignore the 167 people killed (including many tiny kids) and 674 people wounded in the Oaklahoma City bombing. I guess White Christian terrorism doesn't count.

Miró accused the left of supporting the existing conditions and demanding even more of them at demonstrations. At the same time, they would belittle those who rejected this, while sending their own children to private schools. In conclusion, he directed a rhetorical question at Danger Dan. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Bildung (translated)
