PS - this case just shows how when America fails to require our Big Tech to prioritize safety … exploitation becomes an EXPORT, impacting people around the globe who use the US-based platforms.
We can & must fix this. #America250

Please sign this letter to the FCC, urging them to better protect kids from the harms of screens in #schools.
The FCC must begin a robust public examination of risks and prevention measures for harms like porn exposure, predators, & more.

Sex trafficking doesn’t exist without demand. The bipartisan Sex Trafficking Demand Reduction Act recognizes a simple truth: holding sex buyers accountable is essential to preventing exploitation and disrupting the market that traffickers profit from. Congress should pass this legislation. Read our full statement below. 👇

“the depersonalization of sexual relationships that pornography fosters and our advanced age of information and communications technology have converged to make sexual extortion instant, scalable and global.” Link below 🧵
