| 36. | Online platforms accessible to minors might have only some content, sections, or functions that pose a risk to minors or may have parts of their platform where the risk can be mitigated by other measures and/or parts where it cannot. In these cases, instead of age-restricting the service as a whole, providers of such online platforms should assess which content, sections or functions on their platform carry risks for minors and implement access restrictions supported by age assurance methods to reduce these risks for minors in proportionate and appropriate ways. For example, parts of social media services with content, sections or functions that may pose a risk to minors, such as adult-restricted sections of a social media, or sections with adult-restricted commercial communications or adult-restricted product placements by influencers should only be made available to adult users whose age has been verified accordingly.
