@COHouseGOP @SenateGOP @bradleyforco this is why we need SB 25-086. It would safeguard children from these predators! https://t.co/lNMmZwEWig

@RyanGonzalezCO A dark day for the kids of Colorado who remain unprotected and vulnerable to online predators.

They deserve better! 💔

[Lori Schott @Loriaschott]

Sad day for Colorado kids and the agencies that work tirelessly to protect our most vulnerable. You and a handful of Colorado House members decided to uphold the governor’s veto of SB 25-086 – a bill that would have required common sense consumer protections like,

🎯 Clear disclosures and working reporting mechanisms
🎯 Taking down accounts reported and identified as selling drugs or exploiting kids
🎯 Cooperating with law enforcement

Children are dying because companies like Snap get a warrant for a drug dealer account, don’t respond or delay, and don’t take down the account – instead, they continue recommending known predators to vulnerable kids via cartoon animals selling those strangers as “friends” and giving rewards for every Snap kids send to them.

Here are just a few examples,

➡️ A picture of Avery Ping and his dad. Avery is incredible 16-year-old who died in December 2024, more than 60 days AFTER Snap knew (police warrant, pulled proof in response, and who knows how many prior reports) about the drug dealer that purported to sell him MDMA.

➡️An excerpt from a 2021 police report where Snap delayed FOUR MONTHS, then said the warrant was defective – while the dealer kept selling. And a text from that same law enforcement explaining to a grieving mother that Snap “doesn’t like dealing with police,” and does not respond.

➡️ Let’s not forget the internal Snapchat document in a recent AG complaint, and in which employees discussed an account with more than 75 reports – still exploiting kids.

Putting these here in the hopes that the lawmakers in Colorado genuinely did not know. Oh wait. We told them!

Perhaps we should have sent poster sized copies of these and photos of every child who has died because SB 25-086 did not exist; or of every child who may be harmed because of a lawmaker’s choice to look the other way.

What we need are state and federal lawmakers willing and able to put consumers first.

Avery Ping-say his name-Forever 16!

SB 25-086 also does not give these companies the right to shut down accounts quickly – they already do that, as their terms allow. It does, however, prohibit them from allowing drug dealers and sex traffickers from continuing to operate on an identified account once they have knowledge that these crimes are happening.

There is no first amendment right to sell drugs, and no first amendment right to sexually abuse children. These companies do not respect our children’s privacy, they exploit it for profit then blame everyone but themselves when their exploitation results in harm. In a national survey over 87% of parents state they need help keeping kids safe online. With Colorado DAs ALL supporting this legislation.

@COHouseGOP @Colorado_House @GovofCO @jaredpolis @RyanGonzalezCO @RepRyanArmagost @RepGarciaSander @ScottBottomsCO @HouseGOP SB 25-086
no vote/no record. A political move to avoid accountability.
Big tech=Big dollars!
Money talks while kids die! #nomore

[Lori Schott @Loriaschott]

Survivor parents, NCMEC and child protection organizations will continue to fight to protect kids from online harms.

Sadly, Colorado legislators FAILED our kids today by not passing SB #86, but at the FEDERAL level-it is a win for all kids against social media.

Today, the US House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act to protect children victimized by the distribution of authentic and digital forgery nude and exploitative images.

For the first time, social media companies will be required to remove intimate images of children when hosting these images and the distribution of these images will be illegal.
✔️
President Donald Trump will be signing the bill into law and thanks @MELANIATRUMP First Lady Melania Trump, @Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Amy Klobuchar, @amyklobuchar Representative Salazar, and Representative Madeleine Dean for their leadership.

To our tribe of organizations and survivor parents, like Brandon Guffey, Brian Montgomery and the other parents who fight for kids-we thank you! #livelikeanna

Today, the kids of Colorado lost and Big Tech scored another win.

The Colorado House of Representatives had their chance to override the veto of CO Senate Bill 25-086, yet sadly, they cowered to political pressure, fear, and misinformation and killed the bill.

Heartbreaking...

[Lori Schott @Loriaschott]

Colorado SB # 86 can protect kids. As an elected official what do you want your legacy to be? Choose protecting kids over BIG TECH!

Vote Yes on CO SB #86.

Say her name…Coco ❤️ “is one of the thousands of young victims of social media-related dangers. And drugs are one of the most serious and fastest-growing of those threats. The ease with which our children can connect with shady drug dealers on social media has contributed to the highest ever recorded number of drug overdose and poisoning deaths in history devastating families across the nation. We are facing a crisis and need to do more to protect our children.”

Vote yes on SB #86 for Colorado Kids.

[Kim Osterman @Kosterman7]

@COHouseGOP you ought to be ashamed of yourselves! You claim to put families first. SB 25-086 was about putting children before Big Tech! Who got paid off? @RyanGonzalezCO @RepRyanArmagost @scott @GOP_Jarvis @RepGarciaSander @RepWeinberg @DustyAJohnsonCO @RepTyWinter
