The White House announced an executive order that would strip states of their ability to pass kids' AI safety laws. This is an outrageous betrayal of the states that have worked to protect their residents from the very real threat of AI. Read more here. https://t.co/0P3IYE6he7

Kids deserve to be safe online. Platforms like Roblox are failing to stop predators, and the burden shouldn’t fall on parents. Proud to co-author this piece with @Sen_Gounardes, whose legislation would shift responsibility back to tech companies. https://t.co/RvADdKRiKy

Adults are using the online gaming platform to prey on children. Smart policy can stop them.

Newly unsealed documents reveal what tech companies knew all along: the harms weren't accidental. Meta called child safety a "non-goal." Employees described products as "digital cocaine." It's time for accountability. https://t.co/KMtA5qYliP

Court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.
