What they argued
Child Helpline International (CHI) is the global network of over 150 child helplines in more than 130 countries, including all 27 EU Member States. We echo other experts' observation of a rise in the use of social media and gaming platforms to recruit children into criminal activities accelerated by AI expansion, weakened content moderation, and end-to-end encryption.

Turns up on the same files
Organizations that also filed on at least two of the same consultations. A shared interest in the same dossiers — not evidence of coordination, and we do not suggest any.
Is this your organization?
Everything on this page comes from Child Helpline International’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
