Protect California kids online

Big Tech platforms are designed to maximize revenue by increasing engagement and facilitating data collection, which puts children at risk. Research has linked the pressure to spend more time on digital media platforms and the harmful content they are exposed to with the growing mental health crisis in young people, increased risk of sexual predation, and decreased overall wellbeing in kids and teens.

Two bills being considered in the California Assembly have the potential to protect millions of Californian kids and families from the negligence of Big Tech companies: the bipartisan Social Media Platform Duty to Children Act (AB 2408) and the bipartisan California Age Appropriate Design Code bill (AB 2273). These two bills would help keep young people from encountering risky design features in the first place, and provide families and caregivers with tools to hold Big Tech accountable for putting children at risk.

Tell your state senators: vote for AB 2408 and AB 2273 and make California a leader in protecting young people online!

Your California state senators

These are the talking points that will have the biggest impact.

Hello,

My name is NAME and I am a resident of CITY. I am calling to urge NAME OF SENATOR to pass two important bills: AB 2273, the California Age Appropriate Design Code bill and AB 2408, the Social Media Platform Duty to Children Act.

The business model of Big Tech is fundamentally opposed to children’s wellbeing. Children and teens should be able to engage freely with the digital world without being manipulated into spending more time online, spending more money, surrendering more data, or engaging with harmful content. These bills would provide important protections for young people in California as well as tools for families to hold Big Tech companies accountable for harming children.

[Consider adding a sentence or two to illustrate why this is important to YOUR family or how YOUR family has been challenged by manipulative tech practices that lure kids. For example, as a parent/grandparent/caregiver/educator, I have seen first-hand or I worry about xyz.]

Please, pass AB 2273 and AB 2408 and help give California children and families the internet they deserve.
