We are 20 families bound together by the unimaginable: the loss of a child. We refuse to let any other family experience this devastation.

Thanks to @parents4sos, which engaged with House Energy & Commerce to strengthen Kids Act. Its language on states rights (so called preemption) is the gold standard. ✨ @RepGuthrie @footballmum66 @maurinemolak @RepGusBilirakis
National Center on Sexual Exploitation@NCOSE

The House #KIDSAct made a major improvement by improving preemption language to protect states' child safety laws & litigation.Grateful they listened! Still, ongoing concerns are weak, ineffective provisions & loopholes for Big Tech in the bill. The Senate should pass S.1748 Senate #KOSA incl the core legal principle: a Duty of Care.

The incredible moms and dads in @parents4sos helped significantly strengthen the #KIDSAct. Thanks to their efforts, there is now broad, bipartisan consensus that federal online safety legislation should NOT preempt state law. That's something all of us can celebrate! 🎇fairplayforkids.org/fairplay-state…

As parents who have lost their children to online harms, ParentsSOS members understand better than anyone how important it is to pass a strong version of KOSA with a duty of care. They have worked harder than anyone to make that happen, and they have no plans to stop now.

ParentsSOS members appreciate that Committee has made changes they requested to improve the KIDS Act, especially the KOSA & COPPA 2.0 sections. They applaud the new bipartisan, bicameral consensus that Congress’s online safety legislation should not preempt state law in any way.

To be clear, ParentsSOS members have not endorsed the KIDS Act. Instead, they look forward to seeing the bill advance so that they can work with House and Senate leaders to pass a strong version of KOSA this year with a duty of care.
Ben Brody@BenBrodyDC

Meanwhile members of @parents4sos have come out to *back* the KIDS Act package. Groups including @AmerAcadPeds and @afspnational wrote a letter (link in next tweet) calling it an “important step toward strong online safety protections for children.”

🆕The UK & Canada will restrict social media for kids under 16. 📢The message is clear: If Big Tech can't "take simple steps to make their products safer & less addictive for young people, then they should lose their right to target children.” 📝Read our statement: fairplayforkids.org/statement-uk-c…

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸
Sen. KLOBUCHAR: What were the biggest challenges you faced in the landmark case with Meta? Attorney: The company wanted to target the children and families in the courtroom, say it wasn’t Meta’s fault, and blame parents. Even though the mom in our case did everything she could.

Social media companies know that the earlier they get our children addicted, the more likely our kids are to be lifetime users and the more money their companies will make. We have to keep fighting for accountability because Big Tech will always put their profits over our children and teens.

A product that does devastating harm. Executives that know it, deny it, & do nothing—preferring to profit. That was Big Tobacco’s business model. Now it’s Big Tech’s. I helped lead AG’s suing Big Tobacco. Now I’m fighting Big Tech with the Kids Online Safety Act.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn@MarshaBlackburn·
As one of our witnesses in today’s hearing said, courtrooms should be the LAST line of defense for parents and children against Big Tech's exploitation. Right now, they are the only defense. We need laws on the books to create a first line of defense for American families.
