The @FTC's investigation found that TikTok knowingly and repeatedly violated kids’ privacy, threatening the safety of millions of children across the country.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today based on FTC's referral.

In 2013, I had the privilege and honor to pronounce my friends, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, spouses for life.

In 2022, @JoeBiden and I protected marriage rights across the country with the Respect for Marriage Act—ensuring everyone has the right to marry the person they love.

“I’m a middle-aged Black man. I’ve got all of these degrees, I’ve won cases at the Supreme Court – and I still go to places where I’m viewed as less than, where I’m presumed to be the defendant, or presumed to be dangerous, just because of the way I appear. And that’s a heavy burden,” says lawyer and racial justice advocate Bryan Stevenson.

“I can tell you, because I’m getting older, that when you’re constantly navigating these presumptions of dangerousness and guilt, it’s exhausting.”

[Kris Perry @kmpperry]

@Senlaphonza I enjoyed talking to your wonderful staff about Kids Online Safety Act. Thank you for continuing your commitment to keep youth safe online by sponsoring this important bill.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

We now have a total of 62 co-sponsors—Democrats & Republicans—for the Kids Online Safety Act. This overwhelming bipartisan support mirrors the powerful calls from young people & parents who want Congress to take action & finally hold Big Tech accountable.

Historic bipartisan progress to protect children online in the US Senate today! Proud of my Senator @Senlaphonza and the 61 other co-sponsors. Our kids deserve to be safe online! @childrenscreens

[Children and Screens @childrenscreens]

Senators heard stakeholders loud and clear! The latest version of the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) ensures ALL children will be protected online. Thank you @SenBlumenthal and @MarshaBlackburn for your leadership. We encourage the Senate to advance additional protective online regulations for children such as @ChrisCoons' #PATA.

Children and Screens concurs with APA Chief Science Officer @mitchprinstein - accurate and full representation of research into the effects of media on #ChildHealth is important, urgent, and should not be selectively cherry-picked when real children's lives are at stake. #SocialMedia
