Today’s vote in the European Parliament is a step backward in the global effort to protect children from sexual violence online.

We are moving beyond the idea that harm online is simply about content or individual bad actors. We are beginning to recognize a deeper truth: design choices shape behavior, exposure, and risk at scale. For the past three years, the Brave Movement—through our Safe Online campaign—has been advocating for safety by design and holding technology companies accountable. Their leadership has helped shift the narrative from reaction to prevention, from content moderation to system design, from individual responsibility to corporate accountability. For too long, our responses to online harm have focused on managing risk at the edges—through content moderation, reporting systems, age verification, and parental controls. They do not address the underlying design choices that shape how harm occurs in the first place. The question before us is simple: will we design for harm and try to contain it, or will we design for safety from the start?
