The @FTC's investigation found that TikTok knowingly and repeatedly violated kids’ privacy, threatening the safety of millions of children across the country. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today based on FTC's referral. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

10 years ago today after SCOTUS rulings in 'Perry' & 'Windsor,' @KamalaHarris officiated the wedding of our plaintiffs Kris & Sandy in SF. She also ordered weddings to began immediately in LA for plaintiffs Paul & Jeff and couples all across CA. Thank you for your leadership @VP!


Happy to be in DC today to attend the unveiling of the @WhiteHouse Kids Online Health and Safety (KOHS) Task Force report and strongly support the movement to prioritize children’s well-being and safety online. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Wow! I hadn't seen some of this footage. 7 yrs ago today, @KamalaHarris officiated the wedding of #Prop8 plaintiffs @kmpperry & @SandyStier--the 1st SF couple to legally marry after SCOTUS ruling 2 days prior. More special because Kamala was so instrumental in our marriage fight.

In 2013, I had the privilege and honor to pronounce my friends, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, spouses for life. In 2022, @JoeBiden and I protected marriage rights across the country with the Respect for Marriage Act—ensuring everyone has the right to marry the person they love.

It was a pleasure talking to @dcexaminer about the forward momentum of kids #OnlneSafety thanks to @WhiteHouse and bipartisan work of Sens. Blumenthal and Blackburn. #KOSA #SocialMedia.

Children and Screens Executive Director @kmpperry weighs in on a watershed year of legislative progress for youth #OnlineSafety due in part to the bipartisan work of Sens. Blumenthal and Blackburn. #KOSA #SocialMedia



Historic bipartisan progress to protect children online in the US Senate today! Proud of my Senator @Senlaphonza and the 61 other co-sponsors. Our kids deserve to be safe online! @childrenscreens

Senators heard stakeholders loud and clear! The latest version of the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) ensures ALL children will be protected online. Thank you @SenBlumenthal and @MarshaBlackburn for your leadership. We encourage the Senate to advance additional protective online…

Children and Screens concurs with APA Chief Science Officer @mitchprinstein - accurate and full representation of research into the effects of media on #ChildHealth is important, urgent, and should not be selectively cherry-picked when real children's lives are at stake.…

AB 1949 helps protect our children’s privacy online.   The #CAChildrensDataPrivacyAct closes a gap in current law that allows massive corporations to collect and profit off our children’s data.

Encouraged and hopeful that today’s Senate Judiciary hearing will result in real movement and legislation to protect children online, we can't afford any longer.

Today’s testimony from CEOs of the major tech platforms made it clear: we need effective federal legislation to protect kids online. We’re encouraged by the legislation Senators highlighted today, including @SenBlumenthal and @MarshaBlackburn bill #KOSA, and @ChrisCoons#PATA.
