TikTok isn't the only tech company with this problem. As our Josh Golin said, "All of these harms are linked to the business model. It doesn’t make any difference what the social media platform is." https://t.co/bUTDYDHjp4

Young people urgently need better online protections and more privacy in their digital lives. We stand with @SenMarkey, @SenBlumenthal, and other lawmakers in the push to include KOSA and COPPA 2.0 in the year-end omnibus package. https://t.co/CbQDQcn9os

[Advocates for Trans Equality @TransEquality]

These families deserve better.

Trans children are precious, and they deserve love and support - not criminalization and fear.

[Fairplay @fairplayforkids]

Thank you to @SenBlumenthal and @MarshaBlackburn - authors of the Kids Online Safety Act - for meeting with these courageous mothers to hear about how their children were harmed by social media.

Kids can't wait another day: we need KOSA and COPPA 2.0 now.

What is the plan @BU_Tweets?? You’ve got work to do here! It is time to seriously step up your game - your students and faculty are showing you the way. #LGBTQIA

In my chapter called "Bias for Sale," from Who's Raising the Kids? I write about the racism I encountered from Alexa via Amazon's Echo Dot for Kids. Here's a piece I wrote about it in Time. @fairplayforkids @ajlunited @dey #blacklivesmatter #kidsandtech

[Chip Goines @chipgoines]

So this primary ends like a season from The Wire: The crooked DA becomes legitimized by a well-timed bag job carried out by Pulitzer-sniffing reporters, a politician's reputation is in tatters, & more black & brown men get shuffled off to prison on some bullshit. #bospoli #mapoli
