Hey, that's us! 👋🏼 As young people who have grown up online, we have lived through the harms perpetuated by Big Tech's online platforms and social media. We demand a seat at the table when it comes to policy to protect kids online.

Young people deserve a voice in building their digital environment. Not only is protecting kids and teens online good policy, but it’s overwhelmingly popular.

We're grateful for Jenna Ortega's honesty and openness about social media's harms to young people: “It's such a hard thing to balance. How do you be honest without jeopardizing your own health and safety? It's very easy to feel out of control.”

Jenna Ortega is right. It is manipulative. "It almost influences bandwagon mentality…as soon as you see a trend, especially the way the algorithms are set up, it’s all you're seeing and feeding on, and it’s just not brainwashing in a sense, but very very manipulative.”

Jenna Ortega starts to cry as she talks to Elle Fanning about how toxic social media can be: "It's such a hard thing to balance. How do you be honest without jeopardizing your own health and safety? It's very easy to feel out of control."

Just like our co-chair @emmalembke said before Congress: “Make no mistake, unregulated social media is a weapon of mass destruction that continues to jeopardize the safety, privacy and well-being of American youth.”

Big Tech’s rhetoric on #VTKidsCode isn’t scaring us, and it isn’t fooling our co-chair @zamaan_qureshi either. “This kind of tech reform is currently law in the United Kingdom, and last I checked, the internet is not broken.” 🔥

Still thinking about our Co-Chair @emmalembke ’s powerful Senate testimony: “As I began to spend more time online, I was met with a harsh reality. Social media was not magic—it was an illusion, a product that was predicated on maximizing my attention at the cost of my wellbeing.”
