May 20, 2024, 08:28 PM
Meta and Google are leading a lobbying effort against New York's proposed online child safety bills, with spending expected to exceed $1 million. These bills aim to enhance protections for children online, including measures to prevent exposure to harmful content. The lobbying effort has already reached $823,235. In contrast, 𝕏 supports the child safety bills and is opening a new office to combat child sexual abuse material. Critics argue that the bills will eliminate online anonymity and require platforms to collect social security numbers and government IDs. The bills in question include the SAFE Act.
