Do you want apps tracking your children’s location? If you or your kids have used the @GooglePlay app store, they might be. And it looks like @Google is deceiving parents about it too. @SenBlumenthal, @SenatorTomUdall, and I are calling for an investigation.

"It is not just about the protection of data; it is a matter of letting children learn and grow without concern about how their early preferences, talents and habits could shape the opportunities they have in the future."

[Common Sense Media @CommonSense]

Today in @nytopinion, @jimsteyer and @ghoshd7 make the case that the government needs to act to make sure the tech industry isn't misusing kids' data.

Recently, @Google's social media platform Google+ exposed the names, emails, and job titles of millions its account-holders. It’s time tech companies protect our sensitive information. https://t.co/jUE41FKAqC Via @USAToday #dataprivacy

A new report finds that big tech companies collect data on children at an alarming rate. What will they do with it? https://t.co/0So0JIH4to

Last summer, CA passed a first-of-its kind #privacy law. But these new protections are vulnerable to attack. #CCPA https://t.co/Pb6jsV9EGA

[Common Sense Media @CommonSense]

Our @CSKidsAction team is fighting to save this legislation from becoming weakened—which would leave families’ online information vulnerable, again. #kidsprivacy

[ashkan soltani @ashk4n]

Fifteen public interest groups, including @ACLU_NorCal, @EFF, @CSKidsAction, and @CALPIRG warn against tech industry’s efforts to weaken @caprivacyorg #CCPA
and “take away rights and protections for Californians that are already enshrined in law”

[SacBee Editorial Board @SacBeeEditBoard]

California's landmark digital privacy act, passed last year on a unanimous vote in the Legislature, is under attack, writes @jimsteyer of @CommonSense, and legislators must protect it in the new session https://t.co/kdQcZfJOBx

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Kids shouldn’t be bombarded with targeted ads, but many companies simply don’t consider children off limits today. When online actors violate COPPA, they must be held accountable.

Most Americans assume companies won’t share their online info without permission. We're working to make sure you know better -- and to hold companies accountable for protecting #kidsprivacy. https://t.co/wvUkjy1FA3

Devices like #Alexa may seem like a “smart” idea at first, but can lead to #privacy issues in the long run. Read about how #SB327 is trying to help. https://t.co/QvUTgiKk4A #IoT
