As @jaredssolomon points out, now its time for NetChoice and other members to do the same. Lets stop conflating the #MDkidscode with age verification laws and recognize companies ability to comply. https://t.co/OpK2Jzd522

📭TECH GOT MAIL: Maryland lawmakers are calling on NetChoice members @meta, @snap, @amazon, @google, and more to stop threatening legal action and instead start implementing the #MDKidsCode to protect kids on its platforms.
Last week, @GovWesMoore signed the #MDKidsCode into law and the Vermont state legislature passed the #VTKidsCode, marking the third bill we've helped unanimously pass!
The #MDKidsCode “[puts] the onus squarely on tech companies to comply with the privacy by default and safety by design approach to protecting kids,” said Meetali Jain of the Tech Justice Law Project. https://t.co/rZYmISs6KX
Our success with the #MDKidsCode proves we can take on the Big Tech lobby and win.
Next stop: Vermont. #VTKidsCode
For those keeping track at home, the #MDKidsCode is the second bill Design It For Us has passed!
We're not stopping anytime soon. 😤
