Child First Policy

This is a fight we MUST WIN!

@BetterFuture_AI This is a fight we MUST WIN!

It’s time for America to choose: will the most powerful technology in history be used to harm children, enrich the powerful, and risk American lives? Or will we build it with the values that make America great? We can build AI the American way. We must choose a Better Future.

🔴 A New Mexico jury just held Meta accountable for knowingly harming children & hiding what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms. $375 million in damages. The first verdict of its kind. Meta chose profits. The jury chose children. #ChildSafety #MetaVerdict #ProtectKidsOnline @ChildFirstPC cnbc.com/2026/03/24/jur…

The Alliance for a Better Future represents the overwhelming majority of Americans who want to see Congress establish safeguards for AI. We’re grateful to have their support as we work to codify President Trump’s AI agenda to protect Americans and empower innovators.

Children should not navigate the digital world alone. The App Store Accountability Act restores parental control by requiring age verification, ensuring parental consent for app downloads, and reinforcing a parent’s role in guiding their child’s digital experience.

Utah just passed one of the strongest child-focused tech policy packages in the country. ✔️ Bell-to-bell phone limits ✔️ Safer, vetted classroom tech ✔️ Less screen time, more teaching ✔️ Stronger student data protections This is what putting kids first looks like. And it started with a few determined parents. open.substack.com/pub/childfirst… @firstliberty_ @parents4sos @PhoneFreeSchool @GovCox @abc4utah @utahpta

facebook.com/share/r/1DMFJn… Melissa McKay explains the power of the App Store Accountability Act. Did you know that every time an app is downloaded, a legal contract is created? Right now, kids are often the ones clicking “agree.” That means minors are unknowingly entering contracts that include data-sharing terms and even indemnification clauses with app developers—sometimes foreign companies—with Apple acting as the middleman. How is that even legal? The App Store Accountability Act fixes this by requiring child accounts to be linked to a parent account, so parents—not kids—are the ones giving consent and signing contracts. It’s common sense. 📣 Urge Congress to pass the App Store Accountability Act and put parents back in charge. #AppStoreAccountabilityAct #ParentalRights #OnlineSafety #ProtectKidsOnline #utahparentsunited @MikeLeeforUtah @ChildFirstPC @Melissa_M818

@troyhunt The weather app has a back door to unfiltered internet. That's why

Kinda curious about just how adult the weather can get 🤔

Are we doing enough to protect kids while they are online? @Melissa_M818 of the @DigiChildInst joined us to discuss how the App Store Accountability Act can enhance child safety in digital marketplaces -->

We came together in DC last night at Meta HQ and the National Gallery of Art with a clear message for our leaders: 📢 Congress MUST pass the Senate’s #KidsOnlineSafetyAct and protect kids online. #PassKOSA 🗣️ No family should have to lose a child to Big Tech’s greed.

Doesn’t require IDs, protects privacy, makes platforms and app stores accountable. Simply gives parents the right info to make informed decisions. This bill would save millions of kids from an array of harms. #AppStoreAccountabilityAct @Moms4Liberty @Heritage_Action @parents4sos @fairplayforkids @RepJames

"Digital platforms profit from engagement, not child well-being. Parents, meanwhile, are left trying to keep pace with rapidly changing apps and trends," Sarah Sanchez writes. deseret.com/opinion/2026/0…

Great piece on why we need the App Store Accountability Act @NCMEC @FRCdc @HouseGOP the most comprehensive child safety bill available to us. Makes app stores, platforms, and parents accountable! deseret.com/opinion/2026/0…
