Brussels, 16 December 2015 – The protection of children is first of all and this is the reason that prompted the ‘ Europe to raise a 16 years access to social networks such as Facebook , Twitter , Instagram WhatsApp and all other, increasing the previous three years limit.
If tomorrow Brussels will be passed to the proposal submitted by Jan Albrecht , a lawmaker of the German Green Party, which raises the limit to register an account on the social network in the 16 ann , by 2018 all EU member states will decide if discretion to adapt and ratify the European standard or keep the limit current age of 13 .
If ratified by the state, the only way for those under 16 to be able to access social will be to have the parental consent . However, it seems that on balance, rather than to protect children, the new standard will help only to create more accounts with false dates of birth because hardly teenagers manage to do without the social, which have become an integral part of everyday life of every one of them.
But the company seems to have another destiny: to ensure the safety of citizens. Comes, in fact, that news very early to get the visa in USA , will be checked, scrutinized and evaluated thoroughly social profiles of the applicants.
According to the Wall Street Journal, in fact, the Department of Homeland Security of the United States want to analyze the contents of the social , directly accessing accounts , to determine if the subjects that require the visa could be a threat to national security .
proposed revision comes a few weeks after the tragic events of San Bernardino , a tragedy in which as many as 14 people were killed and 22 were injured. One of the assailants, Tashfeen Malik , had arrived in the United States from Pakistan with a visa, despite the fact that its social profiles emerged clearly was that pro-jihadi, an Islamic extremist with terrorist tendencies held sott ‘ eye even by the FBI.
In a statement, after the terrorist attack, the President Barack Obama has urged “the leaders of high technology and law enforcement to collaborate to make it harder for terrorists to use new technology to evade justice. “
A strongly support this change of direction is, in particular, the former undersecretary at the Department of Safety, John Cohen , which states that when you want to let a foreigner in the country must make sure that does not represent a threat to national security.
“There is no excuse for do not use all the resources at our disposal to individuals completely unknown before allowing them to enter the United States “
John Cohen told ABC News.
The spokesman White House, Josh Earnest , said that the security department of the United Kingdom was asked to review the process for screening people who require visas to enter the country.
“I think that the first priority of the President here is the safety of the American people. And we will continue to ensure that the program for the K-1 visa is applied effectively “
Earnest said.
As they say the big” to ensure greater security the people have to give up some of their freedom. “
