Urge your members of Congress to support the Kids Online Safety Act! 

Today, children are exceptionally vulnerable to sexual exploitation through online platforms. Exploiters understand how to connect with children via social media, video games, and other online platforms to build “relationships” and “trust” with children. Exploiters use this opportunity to take advantage of vulnerable children for their own benefit. 

Technology companies must prioritize children’s safety on their platforms, creating better tools for parents and expanding privacy measures for minors. 

This bill, if passed, will help strengthen protections to keep children safe online. Digital platforms will be required to create systems to better protect children’s privacy and allow parents more tools to protect their children. Further, technology companies will be required to protect children from harmful marketing strategies that prey on their vulnerabilities. 

While legislation like this is imperative to protect children, educating yourself and the children in your life is just as important. We’ve created internet safety resources to help concerned adults and children understand how to stay safe online. Digital spaces allow exploiters easier access to children, but you can protect the children in your life. 

To help us create legislative change on this vital issue, please join us in asking Congress to pass this bill!
