This *IS* this start of a movement. And we're building it. We're fighting to ensure our stories of social media's harms are at the forefront when lawmakers work on bills to regulate these platforms.

You in? thenation.com/article/archiv…

Coalition member Trisha Prabhu of ReThink testified yesterday in support of the #VTKidsCode .

Who better to advise legislation on protecting young people online than young people themselves?

“We are demanding these social media corporations take responsibility for intentionally creating dangerous features that ramp up the compulsive use of social media by the youth on our reservation,' said Menominee Chairwoman Gena Kakkak. jsonline.com/story/news/loc…

Menominee Chairwoman Gena Kakkak is sick of seeing teen girls in her community die by suicide at the hands of profit-driven, unaccountable social media companies.

We're thrilled to see her take a stand. fastcompany.com/91090142/enoug…

Minnesota lawmakers debate tighter rules for tech companies over content that could harm kids ⬇️
I’m grateful for the leadership of Kristin Bahner & Erin Maye Quade along with Design It For Us SAVE & Accountable Tech on this. mprnews.org/story/2024/04/…

Our coalition members Emma Lembke of LOG OFF and @trishprabhu of ReThink are co-creating a new relationship with tech and those in power to reform social media for the good of its youngest users. 💪 thenation.com/article/archiv…

A total renunciation of the online world is neither pragmatic nor necessary. But an assertion of collective power is.

My son, a sophomore at Middlebury College, joins the fight against social media with this piece in The Nation -- which is increasingly both a truly bipartisan fight (the KOSA bill just dropped in the House yesterday), and an intergenerational one.

ICYMI: #COPPA2 .0 got a House co-sponsor!

We're one step closer to modernizing laws to protect us online. We think our laws should be as modern as the platforms we use. Don't you agree?

The Kids Online Safety Act has been introduced in the House! #KOSA

Christine McComas lost her daughter Grace to suicide 12 years ago and she hasn't stopped raising awareness of social media's harms.

We're grateful for her activism to help pass the #MDKidsCode to protect our generation and the next. wtop.com/maryland/2024/…

This has been a long time coming. We’re so grateful to U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor and Gus Bilirakis who have worked alongside Richard Blumenthal and Sen. Marsha Blackburn to introduce a House companion to the Kids Online Safety Act.

🧵🚨I introduced the bipartisan Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) to update youth privacy protections online.

Online apps and tech companies are exploiting our kids and causing harm, so it is urgent that Congress passes an effective data privacy law.

.Ed Markey authored the original COPPA in 1998!

Now, he's advocating for an updated version to better protect us from targeted ads and extend protections from users under 13 to users under 16. recorder.com/Sen-Markey-inf…

#COPPA 2.0 got a House companion!!

We're still governed by the original COPPA, which was signed in 1998. Technology has changed since then. Shouldn't our laws change too? markey.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

We're so thrilled to be hosting this Tech Justice panel with Voters of Tomorrow and Public Citizen TONIGHT at 6:30 ET.
