Another pop-up PR shop pretending to speak for app companies? If you're taking advice from this group on kids' safety bills, maybe don't.
App makers Meta, Spotify and Match Group are girding for a high-stakes political battle with the world’s two dominant smartphone platforms over who should take responsibility for verifying users’ ages

@AravSrinivas First, big congrats on your launch! Android is where so much AI innovation is happening on mobile. Just to clarify, nothing - not Google, not any contracts - stops Motorola from installing Perplexity or anyone else as the assistant on their device. Motorola alone chose how to set
