Zuckerberg Said He Was Sorry—Then He Made Social Media Even More Dangerous

One year ago, we grieving parents sat in a Senate hearing room holding photos of our children—children who should still be here today. Mark Zuckerberg looked into our eyes and said, “I’m sorry for everything you’ve all gone through. It’s terrible. No one should have to go through the things that your families have suffered.”

ParentsSOS Statement on Meta Announcing “Teen Accounts” Feature on Instagram

“Default private accounts for minors and turning off notifications in the middle of the night are safeguards Meta should have implemented years ago.

ParentsSOS Issue Letter to Sen. Rand Paul Regarding the Kids Online Safety Act

We are fighting for KOSA because we have had “the guts” to read this legislation — as have the bill’s 68 Senate cosponsors — and we know what it will do: It will save children’s lives.

Dear Congress: Stop playing politics and #PassKOSA

We must get KOSA over the finish line before Congress goes out on August recess and before the likelihood of any new bill becoming law before the November election slips dangerously out of reach. Every day without KOSA enacted into law is another day that lawmakers are allowing Big Tech profits to matter more than children’s lives. But they don’t and they never will.
