Sen. Gounardes Joins Parents, Kids and Advocates to Push to Make Social Media Safer for Kids
New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes joined Attorney General Letitia and Assemblymember Nily Rozic along with join New York parents, educators, lawmakers, and advocates at the State Capitol to rally for common sense regulations designed to make social media safer for kids.
Parents and advocates are supporting the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation for Kids Act (SAFE For Kids Act) and the New York Child Data Protection Act and demanding accountability from Big Tech companies, notorious for maximizing their profits at the expense of their youngest users. While Big Tech companies publicly say they plan on improving their platform for teens, behind the scenes they spent well over $650 million dollars to lobby against the two pieces of legislation.
