Create a safer internet for kids

Two bills that protect kids and teens online rights and privacy were passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee in July. If passed, these bills would go far in creating a healthier media environment for children. We need your help to urge senators on the committee to co-sponsor both pieces of critical legislation!

Design choices made by tech companies manipulate users to stay online as long as possible and expose children and teens to inappropriate and harmful content thanks to algorithmic amplification and poor oversight. These bipartisan bills, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) (S.1409) and COPPA – an update to the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (S.1418), will require online platforms to put children’s privacy and wellbeing ahead of tech companies' profits.

Tell your senators: co-sponsor Senate Bills 1409 and 1418 to protect kids online.

You can make a call or send an email (or both!). We’ve made it easy for you to take action - we just need a few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

Senate

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 create a safer internet for young people by co-sponsoring both the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) (S.1409) and COPPA 2.0 – an update to the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (S. 1418).

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, paying money, surrendering their data, or engaging with harmful content. These bills would provide important protections for young people 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..”]

We are in a crisis. Big Tech has proved it cannot regulate itself. Kids’ safety online will only improve if guardrails are put in place and platforms are required to treat children like children. Please, co-sponsor Senate Bill 1409 and Senate Bill 1418 and help give American children and families the internet they deserve.

Thank you.
