# Claim table — Christine Anderson EU digital-controls Reel

| Claim / issue | Source status | PBC label |

| The EU is regulating online platforms and social media via the Digital Services Act. | European Commission DSA page says the DSA introduces rules for online services including social media networks and platforms. | Supported. |
| “Chat control” / child-sexual-abuse-online proposals are part of the broader EU policy debate. | European Parliament/European Council source pages discuss combating child sexual abuse online; Council page blocked direct capture here but public policy track is real. | Supported as policy track; wording “chat control” is the critics’ label. |
| Age verification and ID requirements risk turning the internet into a permission-based digital public square. | Anderson’s argument in the transcript; official sources frame age/minor protections as safety/fundamental-rights measures. | Opinion/warning with real policy anchors. |
| Such systems “never remain limited” to original purposes. | Anderson’s slippery-slope argument. | Political prediction; not a proven present fact. |
| This belongs in its own PBC Outside Canada section. | User requested a dedicated section; topic is recurring EU digital-freedom/speech policy. | Implemented as Christine Anderson / Digital Freedom section. |
