@Meta - As the young people you claim to be "protecting," we see through these empty PR moves. The timing of this announcement comes as we are the closest to passing federal legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act in years.
You're only protecting yourselves.
As a parent who lost my child to [online harm], I’m grateful to @elonmusk + @DonaldJTrumpJr for backing KOSA.
Please tell @realDonaldTrump that Congress must #PassKOSA before the year ends because protecting kids is always priority #1!

"In the face of an unprecedented youth mental health crisis, Big Tech has turned a bling eye to online harms perpetuated on their platforms. KOSA requires the prevention and mitigation of these harms." — @RepGusBilirakis in his opening remarks.
It's time to #PassKOSA.
"Most people you expect them to be in some dangerous area...but she was just in her house and thought she was just as safe as anybody else."

Snapchat has 406 MILLION daily users, most of them teens and young people. That’s 1 moderator for every 206,000 kids. That’s like having 1 cop for the entire city of Montgomery Alabama, population 207k
OMFG SNAP LOST ITS MOTION TO DISMISS ON 12 OF THE 16 CLAIMS IN OUR CASE AGAINST SNAP FOR FACILITATING THE SALE OF COUNTERFEIT FENTANYL-LACED PILLS. I'M SO GRATEFUL TO OUR CLIENTS. @naomi_leeds
Social media companies must be held accountable after their repeated failures to protect children from the practices that make their platforms harmful. Help @fairplayforkids achieve this by telling your Senator to pass KOSA: https://t.co/5AtZxG0lHX. #PassKOSA @SenatorSinema
A new report from @TTP_Updates calls on Congress and state legislative bodies to take kids' online safety seriously.
We're not buying into Big Tech's false equivalency that safety by design comes at the expense of free speech. Neither should you. https://t.co/lZR4YVdzUr
Today our ED Ailen Arreaza & @AFTunion's @rweingarten have a joint op-ed in @baltimoresun on the way social media is hurting kids' mental health & academic success.
Their message to social media platforms: it's time to stop putting profit over kids. https://t.co/8WvgZ4tl6e
Carson’s light was taken too soon, and we have unregulated social media to blame. Call (202) 224-3121 to find your Senator and ask them to support the Kids Online Safety Act.
