January 22, 2021 "The technological tool to verify the age of young people on social network platforms exists and is called 'age verification' among technicians. It can and must be applied in such a way as not to allow any child to be able to overcome this limit ".
The minister for technological innovation and digitization, Paola Pisano, says on Facebook.
The minister intervened on the case of the ten-year-old girl from Palermo, who died after an alleged extreme suffocation challenge on TikTok.
"The world of the Internet - he adds -" is and must be a space of freedom.
But not the freedom to allow weak subjects, such as minors, to be harmed, creating suffering and allowing serious and in too many cases irreversible injustices ".
