KidD Initiated 70 Proceedings in Its First Year
After its first year of existence, KidD has taken stock of its work to date. One particular success was that Steam removed all games without age ratings from its offering in Germany. Other providers also responded, and according to KidD, this is just the beginning.
On 15 May, the Stelle zur Durchsetzung von Kinderrechten in digitalen Diensten (KidD; Office for the Enforcement of Children's Rights in Digital Services) celebrates its first anniversary. It is the point of contact at the Bundeszentrale für Kinder- und Jugendmedienschutz (BzKJ; Federal Centre for Child Protection with Media) and is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA) in Germany. According to its own figures, around 70 proceedings were initiated in its first year.
