More than a dozen Republican and Democratic attorneys oppose a children’s online safety bill
-
The bill was brought by Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives and was seeking to force social media platforms such as Meta Platforms and TikTok to provide parental controls and curtail their collection of minors’ data.
-
The attorneys said they oppose the bill because it would limit states’ power to pass their own laws regulating social media.
“The bill not only fails to meaningfully protect kids, but also, imperils the significant progress our jurisdictions have achieved on a wide array of tech issues,” the attorneys general wrote.
