Powerful reporting from @JohnBarrX highlights the critical work being done by the @DHSgov and @HSI_HQ to protect kids online. Through the Know2Protect campaign and Project iGuardian, HSI is helping parents, schools and teens recognize threats like sextortion, grooming and online exploitation before tragedy strikes. Their work is leading to real investigations and child rescues - proof that education, prevention and law enforcement working together can save lives. Shout out to Kate Kennedy for her incredible leadership on this initiative! Homeland Security Investigations weaponizes education in fight against online child abuse wjla.com/features/i-tea…

Real online safety starts with law enforcement. This National Police Week, Congress should fully fund the PROTECT Our Children Act so ICAC task forces have the tools and personnel to investigate the millions of tips reported by tech companies.
NetChoice@NetChoice

This National Police Week, Congress must prioritize real solutions for online safety. Instead of unconstitutional mandates, policymakers should fully fund the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008 and give law enforcement the tools they need to stop digital criminals. 👮

In her latest oped @moflatley talks about decades of research showing that survivors of childhood sexual abuse are more likely to suffer depression, more likely to have anxiety disorders and far more likely to meet criteria for PTSD, sleep disorders, or even tragically attempting suicide.

In 2023, tech companies reported 4,700 CyberTips involving AI-generated child sexual abuse material to NCMEC. Last year, that number surged to 1.5 million. That’s why we work alongside Homeland Security Investigations to support efforts to stop predators, disrupt exploitation, and protect kids online. #HSIHeros wjla.com/features/i-tea…

Outrage isn’t a strategy. Protecting kids online shouldn’t be about scoring points against tech. It should be about building solutions that actually work. And when proposals overreach by shifting responsibility away from parents and toward government control, they risk missing the mark entirely. The real path forward is collaboration: empowering parents, holding platforms accountable in practical ways, and focusing on tools and education that make a measurable difference for kids.
Andy Stone@andymstone

In fact, the judge today called some of the State's proposals "an overreach."

ABC News affiliate WJLA reports that Congress remains stalled even as juries hand down verdicts against Big Tech for “harming kids.” But SCP’s @moflatley offers a different perspective, telling @LindseyGrahamSC and others that pitting parents against tech companies misses the point: “If anyone thinks that this approach is going to protect kids, they're out of their minds.” It’s just one reason she’s a leading voice on child safety! #TellItLikeItIs @JohnBarrX wjla.com/features/i-tea…

Child exploitation continues to be a serious problem. AAF is proud to lead a coalition letter outlining steps the DOJ can take to help combat it. Here’s what the DOJ can do: ✔️Release a timely, updated National Strategy to combat child exploitation ✔️Publish a long-overdue report on victim restitution progress ✔️Strengthen enforcement to ensure offenders are prosecuted and victims receive timely support

SCP is proud to support @KR_Bledsoe, @AFPhq and other leaders to advance the @POTUS national AI framework. This approach focuses on giving parents tools to control their children's digital environments while pushing for a uniform national standard + protects American AI dominance. @moflatley

@moflatley and @donmcgowan rightly point out that KOSA doesn’t address the often overlooked threat to child “stars.” There’s lots of talk about how parents need help in keeping their children off the internet. But what happens when the parents are the ones putting them there?
Maureen Flatley@moflatley

KOSA doesnt' help these kids. No one's talking about "protecting" these kids. They're on their own. W/ favorite collaborator @donmcgowan dcjournal.com/when-the-calls…

At the heart of any child safety bill should be 1) funding law enforcement 2) parental empowerment 3) did we mention funding law enforcement? Kids are protected when perpetrators are held accountable.
Maureen Flatley@moflatley

This is what all 75 Senators below are voting for by putting bills like KOSA before serious law enforcement intervention & tough sentencing guidelines for predators. KOSA doesn't stop this. It doesn't protect one child from David Allen Funston. This is what causes child exploitation. x.com/NBCNews/status…

Thank you to the 75 Senators who have co-sponsored my Kids Online Safety Act. Americans are demanding action, and every single member of Congress has a duty to deliver it.

Normally good ideas come out of states. But not always. That’s why SCP joined @AFPhq and more than 40 groups calling for federal AI uniformity over a patchwork of bad state bills to strengthen US innovation, protect consumers, promote competition, and safeguard national security.

@AFPhq SCP is proud to join @AFPhq and others to advocate for a unified standard to address AI instead of a patchwork of inconsistent state laws, especially as we consider how to leverage AI for good in the child safety space.
