AI and Big Tech companies say they want responsible regulation of their industry. But of course, behind the scenes, they're desperately lobbying and funding candidates who will do the exact opposite...
An absurdly ludicrous take by the newspaper that broke the first stories about Meta’s products causing harm to young people. Not a single mention in here about how a Judge ordered Meta to change its product features — with specificity — to protect young people. /1
NEW: Big Tech, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI) titans spent a combined $20 million on lobbying during the first three months of 2026 — an average of about $226,000 per day, @IssueOneReform review of new filings shows

idk how you can believe the WH cares about protecting kids online when Trump appoints Zuckerberg to a council of advisors less than 24 hrs after Meta was found guilty of not protecting kids from sexual predators online
HISTORIC VERDICT: “The era of Big Tech invincibility is over – this ruling is an earthquake that shakes Big Tech’s predatory business model to its core." -- @sachalouise https://t.co/BA8CXGAJTC
Juries across the country are finding Big Tech guilty on all counts for failure to protect young people online.
This is vindication for the thousands of young people who have been standing up across the country to share their stories of harm online.
This victory is for them.
🚨BREAKING: Research reveals @Instagram#TeenAccounts are nothing but a PR stunt, full of broken promises. The safety tools don’t work & teens are inundated with harmful content. #MetaFailsTeens
Don’t let @Meta’s manipulations trick you🤥. Read our report now!
A teen told Meta researchers his brother, then under 10, had been sexually propositioned through Meta's VR headsets multiple times. Their boss told them to delete the evidence, they said.
That's one example in our new investigation about Meta's crack down on internal research.
Our Organizing Director, Isabel Sunderland: “Unfortunately, we’ve lost a key thread when we’re talking about these platforms, and it’s the youth voice."
We need to be an integral part of how these platforms are shaped. Our wellbeing is on the line.

🚨 Early analysis says this deal might actually endanger the child safety laws it meant to protect & make it even harder for parents whose kids have been harmed by tech to seek justice.
When we "move fast & break things," kids die. We need to hit the brakes on the AI moratorium.
The Senate Commerce AI preemption language forces states to choose between accepting broadband funding and protecting kids online. NTIA approved all 56 state/territory BEAD proposals. Now states must hold back regs on AI (including CSAM), social media, privacy if they want the $.
New from me: 260 state lawmakers from both parties and all 50 states have sent a letter calling on Congress to drop a proposed 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations.
