Knowing a child is a child shouldn't require knowing everything about them.
Age assurance can protect children without exposing unnecessary personal information. Child safety and privacy shouldn't compete. We need to design for both.

[Dr. Lisa Strohman @DrLisaStrohman]

Child safety and privacy should never be an either/or decision.
We need to know when a child enters an online environment, but that shouldn't require collecting more personal data. We can build systems that protect both.

Parents shouldn't be an afterthought in children's digital lives.
Meta's settlement puts greater emphasis on parental involvement. It's an important shift. Protecting kids means giving parents a meaningful role while respecting children's privacy.

Protecting children online means protecting their personal data, too.
Children shouldn't have to surrender their privacy to participate in the digital world. We need systems that protect both safety and identity from the start.

Protecting our children's mental health can't begin after something goes wrong.
I recently spoke on Lynn's Warriors to discuss the challenges young people face and what we can do to help.

Protecting children online should never be partisan. Children's safety must come before politics, profits, and delays. Laws matter, but our focus should always remain on the children we're trying to protect. - https://t.co/qFUqhWP8QF

Scams aren't just about technology. They're about psychology.
They exploit trust, urgency, fear, and emotion to influence decisions before we can think clearly. The best defense is understanding their tactics and how to recognize them - https://t.co/d8tjtNS1BW

We've spent years debating age verification and parental controls.
In my latest op-ed, I explain why protecting children requires a global, privacy-preserving trust infrastructure, not more surveillance.

Protecting children online requires turning concern into action.
Rick Lane joined Lynn's Warriors to discuss where #KOSA stands and what comes next. Legislation matters, but implementation will determine its impact. https://t.co/8eXKSYkLFM

This ruling is about more than a financial penalty. It's a reminder that protecting children online is a responsibility. Accountability matters. But prevention matters even more.

[Dr. Lisa Strohman @DrLisaStrohman]

Children deserve both safety and privacy.

Digital safety should rely on solutions that verify only what's necessary while collecting as little personal data as possible.

That's the digital world our children deserve.

Technology has transformed how we live, but it's also changing how our children sleep, focus, and grow.
Digital Toxicity Awareness Day is a chance to pause and build healthier digital habits for our families.

Schools are feeling the impact of social media, too. Instead of asking who pays after the damage is done, we should focus on preventing that damage in the first place.

It's encouraging to see child online safety remain part of the legislative conversation. But passing laws is only the 1st step. Real protection depends on how those laws are implemented. Children deserve privacy built in from the start. https://t.co/lLUiE4UKyx #ProtectKidsOnline

[Dr. Lisa Strohman @DrLisaStrohman]

Protecting children online takes all. Parents, advocates, educators, & innovators all play a role. I'm grateful for organizations like Parents RISE, giving families a voice and help drive meaningful change.

Every data breach should raise the same question: Why was that information collected in the 1st place? Privacy starts with collecting only what's truly necessary. That's how trust builds and protects children online.

Conversations about AI and kids are growing. But awareness alone won't keep them safe.

As AI becomes part of kids' digital lives, we need to build safety in from the start, not after harm occurs. Children deserve safeguards by design.

The bigger question isn't why Meta pulled this feature. It's why it launched at all. Products that manipulate someone's image without consent should never reach the public. When kids are involved, AI safety can't be an afterthought. https://t.co/HeynG4fUgM #ProtectKidsOnline

"They've silenced her.

"This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth."

The "bizarre" moment @maitlis is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.

[Dr. Lisa Strohman @DrLisaStrohman]

California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties from Meta over claims that the social media giant designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children and withheld information from the public about the harms the apps pose to young users.

Parents (and society in general) are fed up with Big Tech putting profit over children’s safety. Meta can try and make this a free speech issue, but this is about design flaws: Unreliable and circumventable safety features, ineffective age-verification tools, Manipulation of users into compromising or fraudulent situations like romance scams or grooming by child predators, Algorithms that conflict with safety objectives. The list goes on.

You would think after the billions Meta has already lost in court that they would relent and make the necessary changes . . . but no. - https://t.co/dKDBnonFdR
