Common Sense Media’s @LizFol stood alongside @Sen_Gounardes, @nily and advocates to call on NY lawmakers to pass the Stop Online Predators Act (SOPA). This bill would make social media platforms safer by blocking strangers from messaging kids and strengthening safety settings.

NY, WE DID IT! @govkathyhochul signed our bill to require a warning label on addictive social media. This happened because parents, young people & advocates spoke up & kept the pressure on. Thank you Gov. Hochul, @Sen_Gounardes & @nily for your leadership in this huge win.
