Common Sense Media

RT @RepDeSaulnier: With one in five American teenagers reporting harm to their mental health from social media sites, it is critical that we take action to rein in big tech companies. I’m hosting a virtual town hall TOMORROW, October 29th at 3:30 p.m. to discuss the urgent need to protect all social media users, especially young people. I will be joined in this timely conversation by expert special guests from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and @CommonSense. RSVP to join us:

Wow! We’re celebrating a major win for kids and families in New York. @govkathyhochul just signed the strongest kids’ AI safety bill in the country.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, contacted their lawmaker, or supported us. You helped make this win possible!

Most importantly, we are grateful for the courageous families, like Maria and Matt Raine, and others, who shared the hardest stories for a parent to tell to make sure that other children are protected. Learn more at the link in our bio!

We talked to 1,211 kids and parents need to hear this. 🚨 Today’s youth are growing up in a vastly different media landscape. Check out the full report here:

Big Tech admits to catastrophic risks, yet meaningful regulation continues to meet immense resistance. But protecting families isn’t optional—it’s essential.

67% of kids ages 9–17 use AI chatbots, and 30% of teens say they like AI companions as much as or more than people. We must pass laws that put kids’ safety first! We talked about this with @SenGonzalezNY, the bill author, @JonHaidt, and others in New York just this week.

We’ve tackled big challenges before, and we can do it again. Stay updated on our advocacy work by signing up for our updates through the link in our bio!
