👀 Schumer also reiterated his desire to find a path forward on overwhelmingly popular bipartisan legislation aimed at bolstering online safety for children, as well as a new data privacy bill. “We’re making very good progress,” Schumer told us this week. punchbowl.news/article/tiktok…
Well… I’m not surprised. Were voluntary commitments ever going to get AI companies to play ball, or did they just roll out the red carpet for cute virtue signaling?

As it stands, we don’t know whether TikTok is a national security threat. But we do know young Americans should be protected from data harvesting & algorithmic manipulation — whether on a U.S.- or foreign-owned platform.
Our well-being is far more important than Big Tech’s quarterly numbers. Thank you @Eko_Movement for your support to pass the #MNKidsCode. Let’s get it done. minnesotakidscode.com
👀 TikTok ban heads to Biden's desk. What would you like to see Congress do instead of banning platforms?

By hastily imposing this ban, lawmakers shrug off any real responsibility to legislate and pass much needed regulation that would force all platforms to be held accountable for their constant surveillance of users and failure to create safe platforms washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Today, @freepress is hosting a press briefing to hear from leaders of the diverse, global coalition of more than 200 groups that are calling on 12 of the largest tech platforms to meet a set of demands necessary to better safeguard the integrity of elections worldwide. A 🧵...
👀 News from the weekend. Bans don't protect young users when all social media platforms still fail to address user safety and privacy. We need legislation that puts the onus on platforms to prioritize safety by design and privacy by default. politico.com/news/2024/04/2…
That's our sign! We're ensuring our stories of social media's harms guide these laws to protect our generation online and the next. We're so close to passing the #MDKidsCode and are optimistic other states will follow. rollcall.com/2024/04/16/con…
Republicans Democrats 🤝 Protect us online washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Just saying: The problems with social media are inherent to their business model and baked into every platform. Banning platforms like TikTok won't fix the problems.
Proud to support Ava as she testified before a @HouseCommerce subcommittee. Her testimony was moving and powerful as she made the case for KOSA, COPPA 2.0, and data privacy. Thank you to @USRepKCastor, @RepGusBilirakis, @RepWalberg, @RepKimSchrier, @RepLoriTrahan and others.

Big Tech uses every method possible to keep users addicted to being online so they can pocket huge profits while our kids pay the price. It’s long past time the Congress steps up and passes comprehensive data and privacy legislation to protect children online.
Thank you @RepGusBilirakis and his subcommittee for their work to mitigate the harms to young people online. Eager to keep working to pass these bills.

"None of this would have happened to me if I had the option to opt-out of algorithms that used my data to target me," Ava Smithing of the @ncypalliance's tells lawmakers, regarding the way social media platforms used her data to recommend content promoting disordered eating.

🧵🚨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.
What an incredible effort! Next up is Minnesota! #MNkidscode NOW!
The #MDKidsCode has unanimously passed out of both chambers in the Maryland legislature! Next step: @GovWesMoore’s desk!!! 🥳
