Unione Europea: Facebook tuteli i giovanissimi

La Commissione Europea torna nuovamente all’attacco di Facebook e similari reti sociali, colpevoli di non garantire la giusta protezione ai minori da possibili predatori sessuali. L’allarme è lanciato dal Commissario Europeo Neelie Kroes, che tiene a sottolineare come Facebook ed altri grandi del settore non facciano praticamente nulla per garantire tutela e protezione ai giovanissimi utenti.

“Il fatto che la maggior parte dei siti legati al social networking non siano ancora riusciti ad assicurare ai minori una adeguata protezione da possibili malintenzionati rendendo accessibili i loro profili solo ai contatti autorizzati mi rammarica”, è il commento di Kroes.

L’Unione Europa del resto si è già dimostrata in passato molto attenta ad una questione delicata di questo genere. Recentemente è stato infatti stilato un rapporto che certifica come il 77 percento di ragazzi tra i 13 e i 16 fanno regolarmente uso di Facebook e simili piattaforme. Il dato è aggravato dal fatto che anche oltre il 40 percento di giovanissimi tra i 9 e i 12 anni frequenta tranquillamente MySpace, Bebo e appunto il social network di Mark Zuckerberg.

Il Commissario Kroes esprime dunque la propria preoccupazione per questi dati, considerato inoltre che molti social network in teoria non permetterebbero l’iscrizione ai minori di 13 anni. Ma c’è un’altra questione: 12 siti su 14 analizzati permettono di indicizzare i profili dei minori di 18 anni, mettendoli così letteralmente alla mercé di eventuali malintenzionati.

Nonostante MySpace e Bebo negli ultimi tempi abbiano provato a regolamentarsi in tal senso, la preoccupazione maggiore per la Commissione Europa arriva comunque da Facebook, proprio perché è il più diffuso e popolare al mondo. Pertanto, l’Unione Europea invita nuovamente i vertici di Facebook a dare vita ad un adeguato contesto di autoregolamentazione per i profili appartenenti ai più giovani, così da evitare eventuali sanzioni da parte dell’Unione in futuro.

La discussione probabilmente continuerà anche nelle prossime settimane. Dopotutto, Facebook aveva annunciato di stare pensando alla realizzazione di una struttura alternativa a quella principale dedicata proprio ai giovanissimi.

  5. You really make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something that I think I’d never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very huge for me. I am taking a look ahead on your subsequent post, I’ll try to get the grasp of it!

  31. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

  34. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any ways to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.

  40. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
