A New Mexico court just did what Congress still hasn't: it required Meta to better protect children.
Meta now faces nearly $1 billion in penalties and court-ordered remedies including funding for youth mental health and changes to how its platforms protect young users. Teen accounts must receive stronger safeguards, recommendations are restricted, usage limits imposed, and protections against predators strengthened.
Children in New Mexico shouldn't be the only ones with these protections.
Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Maria Cantwell and Senator Charles Schumer:
Pass the Kids Online Safety Act as a standalone bill. No carve-outs for Big Tech. No last-minute loopholes.
One state proved accountability is possible.
Now it's Congress's turn.

Thank you Sen. Marsha Blackburn for your enduring dedication and leadership to this landmark legislation. Survivor parents stand by you every step of the way in fighting to ensure the language passed out of markup remain intact.

Meta’s $50 billion Louisiana data center was negotiated behind more than 50 NDAs, with taxpayers potentially on the hook for up to $10 billion of lost taxpayer revenue. All while Meta secured the ability to scale back or walk away. When Big Tech receives secrecy, subsidies, and an escape hatch, the public deserves answers. Follow Parents RISE! for the inside scoop on Big Tech.
Governors Spencer Cox (Utah) and Jared Polis (Colorado) debate whether teens should be banned from social media.
But there is a bigger question:
Why are we still allowing companies to sell children products designed in ways we already know can be harmful?
California’s AB 1709, a bill that would restrict addictive social media features for users under 16, offers another model: regulate the design. Instead of simply barring kids from social media, it would require platforms to stop serving younger users some of the features designed to maximize engagement, including personalized feeds and autoplay.
Bans alone do not force companies to build safer products. Safety-by-design does.
And California has a chance to lead. AB 1709 is moving toward final legislative action this month.
If you live in California, tell your state lawmakers: pass AB 1709. Don’t just put more responsibility on parents and kids, put responsibility on the companies that design the products.
Change the design. Hold Big Tech accountable.
Facebook knew there were users underage using their platforms, yet they chose to do nothing about it. They even lied to Congress when asked about kids’ usage of Facebook.

Big Tech is spending more than $230,000 every day to influence Washington, deploying 324 lobbyists and $41.8 million in just six months. While these companies buy access, Congress is deciding whether children will be protected online and whether tech platforms will finally be held accountable. Follow to help make sure families, and not Big Tech, shape the rules.
As Senator Lindsey Graham is laid to rest today, we honor his fierce, bipartisan leadership in protecting children online and holding Big Tech accountable.
Senator Graham fought to sunset Section 230 and replace its outdated protections with legislation that would actually hold technology companies accountable for the harms their products cause children and families.
Our nation has lost a champion for online safety. Congress must now honor his legacy by carrying this work forward and finally passing laws that put children before profits.

The Resnick Aspen Action Forum brings leaders from around the world together to share ideas and turn their values into action. We’re proud that Kristin Bride and Lori Schott were invited to speak at the forum’s closing plenary, sharing their stories and their work to hold Big Tech accountable and create safer online spaces for children.
Their courage is a key example of turning unimaginable loss into meaningful change.

The people who built Big Tech are limiting their own children’s access to it, while millions of other kids spend hours a day on platforms designed to keep them scrolling. Every child deserves the same protection.
