As both sides lobby to #passKOSA let's remember the goal is to hold #socialmedia companies accountable, protect the #digitalrights of youth and parents, and make these platforms better for everyone, not just restrict access as a form of protection. #digitalsafety #OnlineSafety
"The ♥️ of #KOSA involves imposing a duty of care on online platforms...platforms must exercise 'reasonable care' in making sure that their design features do not cause harm, including mental health harms, addiction, & sexual exploitation." #PassKOSA afterbabel.com/p/tech-indust…
