Meta Muzzled Child Safety Findings On Virtual Reality Platforms, Researchers Tell Congress

European leaders are pushing for the implementation of digital identification.
Specifically, both French President Emmanuel Macron and former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair have urged sitting U.K. PM Keir Starmer to consider making digital IDs mandatory.
'The same playbook is being used as a justification for broader powers to the establishment.'
Starmer is under pressure from English activists to stem illegal immigration, with illegal transport by sea from France being the primary focus. For this reason, Macron said he wants Starmer to address the "pull factors" that are allegedly attracting illegal immigrants to the U.K.
Apparently, digital ID would be the best way to do that, according to the French president.
As reported by the Independent, a compulsory national ID card is being considered by the U.K.'s highest office.
"We're willing to look at what works when it comes to tackling illegal migration, ... in terms of applications of digital ID to the immigration system," the prime minister's spokesman said.
"The point here is looking at what works, ensuring that we're doing what we can to address some of the drivers of illegal migration, tackle those pull factors, ensure that we're doing everything we can to crack down on illegal working," the spokesman added, echoing Macron's reasoning.
Simultaneously, a push factor is coming internally from former U.K. leader Blair, who actually tried the scheme before during his third term as prime minister.

The Daily Mail reported that Blair was pushing the idea behind the scenes, continuing his attempt from the early 2000s to enforce the mandatory digital ID.
"In 2005, there was a huge vote which unfortunately was narrowly passed for ID cards in order to crack down on crime," Lewis Brackpool, director of investigations at Restore Britain, told Blaze News. "Many ministers were incredibly skeptical on this move due to its ever increasing powers to the state."
Brackpool cited a 2004 BBC report that criticized the IDs as a "badly thought out" excuse to fight organized crime and terrorism. It noted then that plans for the cards included biometric data that carried fingerprints and iris scans, and would have become compulsory in 2013. The plan was abandoned in 2010.
The Englishman continued, "Now, 20 years on, the same playbook is being used as a justification for broader powers to the establishment. Tony Blair is somewhere in his evil lair rubbing his hands and cackling; his career ambition is coming to fruition."
RELATED: YouTube admits to secretly manipulating videos with AI
The implementation of digital ID is straight from the playbook of the World Economic Forum, the yearly gathering of world elites where globalist policy is discussed and planned.
Seven years before the WEF broadcasted its report on reimagining digital ID and before its ideas became globally criticized, it published "A Blueprint for Digital Identity" in 2016.
The report boasted of the Aadhaar program, a government initiative from India that was implemented in order to "increase social and financial inclusion" for Indians. The Unique Identification Authority of India holds a database of user information "such as name, date of birth, and biometrics data that may include a photograph, fingerprint, iris scan, or other information."
Over 1 billion Indians have enrolled in the program for the 12-digit identity number, and it continues today.
As for England, "It is not a reasonable solution," Brackpool says. "It is the very thing many concerned British citizens and campaigners have been warning about for years down the line."

Winning Big Looks Like Texas Passing A Bathroom Bill With Zero Corporate Shakedowns
With barely a whisper of corporate or public backlash, Texas' bathroom bill marks a seismic shift in American opinion on trans issues.Why is Trump’s Justice Department carrying water for Obama’s visa scam?
Donald Trump’s base has reached a clear conclusion: The entire importation of white-collar workers from India was a scam. It replaced American workers, fueled outsourcing to India, and boosted its economy at the expense of our own.
The labor market is so weak that even legal visa programs should be suspended under Trump’s 212(f) authority. Yet the H-1B and L visa pipelines remain open, and worse, the Trump Justice Department is defending one of Obama’s most lawless expansions: the H-4 spousal work program.
Defending Obama’s H-4 visa scheme undermines both the law and the American workforce.
Save Jobs USA, representing American workers, has sued the government for continuing Obama’s program that grants work permits to H-1B spouses on H-4 visas. Congress authorized the H-4 visa, but it never authorized work permits. Obama simply created them in 2015 by executive fiat.
Because the program is untethered from statutory limits, it has no cap. While the U.S. still issues around 120,000 H-1B visas each year — including under Trump — hundreds of thousands of spouses now work illegally in the same industries, displacing Americans. Most are funneled into the tech sector, overwhelmingly from India.
This lawsuit has been winding through the courts for nearly a decade. It began after Southern California Edison fired American workers and replaced them with H-1B visa holders. Both district and appellate courts in D.C. sided with the government. Now, as the case reaches the Supreme Court, Trump’s Justice Department filed a brief — signed off by Pam Bondi — arguing that plaintiffs lack standing to sue.
“Petitioner did not identify a single member who is ‘suffering immediate or threatened injury’ that is fairly traceable to the 2015 rule,” government lawyers wrote last month.
Even if one debates the technicalities of standing, why would Bondi waste resources defending a program that is plainly illegal and harmful to American workers — the opposite of what Trump promised in 2015?
A broader failure on foreign labor
Seven months into the new administration, the broader picture looks grim. The White House has failed to slow worker visa programs outside of narrow national security concerns. Trump has not invoked his 212(f) authority to halt needless foreign labor. Instead, he has floated the idea of importing 600,000 Chinese students — an economic and national security risk rolled into one.
This is the worst possible time to flood the market with foreign workers. The economy has averaged just 35,000 new jobs a month, the weakest pace since the Great Recession. Entry-level job listings are down 15% while applications are up 30%. The class of 2024 is still struggling: 41% underemployed, 58% still searching.
Tech companies, meanwhile, continue layoffs by the tens of thousands this year even as they lobby for more H-1Bs:
- Intel: 21,000
- Panasonic: 10,000
- Meta: 3,600
- Hewlett-Packard: 2,000
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise: 2,500
- IBM: 8,000
- PayPal: 2,500
- Dell: 12,500
- TCS: 12,000
Why would they seek more visas in the middle of layoffs? Because nearly half of H-1Bs go to outsourcing and staffing firms, which feed India’s tech industry while hollowing out our own. Each expansion of the visa pipeline means more outsourcing, not more prosperity for Americans.
RELATED: American universities should be for Americans
The corporate capture
The deeper problem is the growing partnership between this administration and multinational tech giants. The government even owns a 10% equity stake in Intel. Palantir, which holds sensitive defense and health databases, has been allowed to staff up with foreign workers who now handle American taxpayers’ critical data.
Against this backdrop, Bondi’s defense of Obama’s illegal spousal work program looks less like a legal technicality and more like a political signal: This administration is drifting from Trump’s 2015 America First promises and closer to the “America Last” priorities of multinational corporations.
Back to 2015’s warning
The case against foreign workers is even stronger now than when Trump rode down that golden escalator a decade ago. The economy is weaker, the job market tighter, and the outsourcing racket more blatant. Defending Obama’s H-4 visa scheme undermines both the law and the American workforce.
The administration needs to remember what brought Trump to power in the first place. Stop importing foreign labor. Shut down lawless programs. Put American workers first.
America last: Is Big Tech hiding jobs from US citizens to hire cheaper foreign labor from India and China?
Reports indicate that the American tech job market is slowing down significantly, making it increasingly more difficult for qualified individuals to find employment. However, a team of technology professionals contends that jobs are out there; they are just not being advertised to American talent.
The Economic Policy Institute found that the top 30 H-1B employers hired 34,000 new foreign workers in 2022, yet laid off at least 85,000 between 2022 and early 2023, further fueling concerns that companies are booting Americans for foreign nationals to keep wages lower.
'We were shocked to discover these discriminatory practices are still widespread across major American companies today, keeping Americans out of jobs in their own country.'
Indian nationals accounted for roughly 71% of H-1B workers in 2024, while Chinese nationals ranked second, with 12%. Indian and Chinese nationals also represent the largest groups of foreign-born STEM workers, according to the American Immigration Council.
The background
Reports like this sparked action from fed-up tech workers who decided to establish Jobs.Now, an online job board featuring a list of positions sourced from "legally mandated PERM labor market test locations" in newspaper classified advertisements.
PERM is a permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor, allowing employers to hire foreign talent to work in the United States. This certification sets workers on a path to receive a green card. Many of these candidates are already working for the employer on temporary visas, such as the H-1B or the Optional Practical Training programs.
The tech workers were driven to start the online job board after Apple and Facebook settled worker discrimination lawsuits with the Department of Justice.
In 2021, Facebook agreed to pay $4.75 million in civil penalties and up to $9.5 million to eligible victims after it was accused of “routinely” refusing to “recruit, consider, or hire U.S. workers” for positions it had reserved for temporary visa holders.
Similarly, in 2023, Apple agreed to pay $6.75 million in civil penalties and establish an $18.25 million back pay fund for victims after the DOJ claimed the company “illegally discriminated in hiring and recruitment against U.S. citizens and certain non-U.S. citizens.”
RELATED: The real labor crisis? Too many visas, not too few workers
“We were shocked to discover these discriminatory practices are still widespread across major American companies today, keeping Americans out of jobs in their own country,” Jobs.Now told Blaze News. “We started Jobs.Now to fight against these illegal practices and help Americans find good jobs.”
Sneaky tactics
Jobs.Now warned that some companies — particularly those seeking to fill engineering, data science, finance, accounting, and biotechnology positions — will try to hide opportunities from American workers to favor their existing H-1B employee and provide lower wages.
Under PERM laws, a company seeking to hire a foreign national must demonstrate "that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified, and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers."
To demonstrate this, the employer must advertise the position in two Sunday newspapers and select three additional recruitment steps, which can include advertising the position at job fairs, the employer's website, an online job board, and on radio and television, among other options.
'Jobs.Now highlights those ads, but that doesn't mean the company is running a new search. It's just about meeting the compliance rules.’
The employer can hire a foreign national via the PERM process only if there are no other minimally qualified U.S. citizens or existing green card holders available.
"As a result, they put ads in newspapers with obscure application methods aiming to hide the listing from Americans, so they will not receive applications and will be able to sponsor their preferred immigrant candidate for a green card to fill the job," Jobs.Now told Blaze News.
Jobs.Now explained that it has found some job postings that feature "hidden" characteristics — including "not being posted on the company website, not being posted on mainstream job boards, and requiring email or paper mail applications" — that could result in fewer American applicants.
Jobs.Now has also highlighted postings that refer individuals to send their applications to immigration professionals and law firms, rather than human resources workers.
"To maintain business continuity, or the wage arbitrage of hiring lower-paid immigrant workers, companies prefer to keep these existing employees rather than seek American citizens as required for permanent roles," Jobs.Now stated. "They commonly treat PERM labor market tests as compliance exercises where they fill out paperwork, rather than actual hiring processes. As a result, they often direct applications to immigration professionals or law firms rather than ordinary recruiters."
Clashing views
While Jobs.Now highlights the labor market tests as being treated as mere formalities rather than genuine efforts to recruit American workers, recruiter Mark Fabela affirmed that these postings are meant to satisfy regulatory requirements and are "not about launching a broad hiring campaign." Though, perspectives differ on whether this complies with the law.
"Instead, it's about documenting for the Department of Labor that no qualified U.S. workers stepped forward during the recruitment phase. That's why you see the mandated postings in newspapers and other outlets," Fabela told Blaze News. "Jobs.Now highlights those ads, but that doesn't mean the company is running a new search. It's just about meeting the compliance rules."
"By the time these ads appear, the role is often already filled by someone, usually an H-1B worker the company is already employing," he said, dismissing Jobs.Now's claim that the posts aimed to hide jobs from Americans.
‘Only after no US worker can be found will the PERM application be approved. Whether the foreign worker is already performing the job is immaterial.’
However, other experts challenge Fabela's perspective, asserting that the law requires genuine efforts to hire Americans, even through the labor market tests posted in the newspaper.
“Employers must conduct good-faith recruitment of U.S. workers and offer that position to any qualified and willing U.S. applicant,” Dr. Ron Hira, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Howard University, told Blaze News. “Only after no U.S. worker can be found will the PERM application be approved. Whether the foreign worker is already performing the job is immaterial.”
Hira called the law “crystal clear” but noted that even the DOL “has been guilty of administrative malpractice in enforcing PERM regulations.”
RELATED: AI, global power, and the end of human jobs — are we ready?
“For the past few decades, DOL has turned a blind eye to rampant employer discrimination against U.S. workers in the PERM recruitment process,” he explained. “Everyone, including DOL, knows that discrimination is more common than not in PERM applications.”
The DOL admitted in a 2020 report that the PERM program “relentlessly has employers not complying with the qualifying criteria.” It also stated that it has “limited authority over the H-1B program as it can only deny incomplete and obviously inaccurate applications and conduct complaint-based investigations, challenges in protecting the welfare of the nation’s workforce.”
“Therefore, the PERM and H-1B programs remain highly susceptible to fraud,” the DOL concluded.
Hira called for Americans to petition the Trump administration “to start enforcing the plain language of the law.”
‘Americans don't have a real shot at these jobs; they were already displaced long ago when the employer hired the worker on a temporary visa.’
Jessica Vaughan, the director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, echoed Hira's concerns about enforcement failures, calling the PERM process “a charade.”
“The reality is that nearly all of these employers already have a foreign worker in the job and are just seeking to check off the boxes that the law requires,” Vaughan told Blaze News. “Americans don't have a real shot at these jobs; they were already displaced long ago when the employer hired the worker on a temporary visa.”
Congress fueled some of these issues by adjusting the eligibility criteria for green cards to more closely align with those for temporary visas, Vaughan explained.
“That means there are more temporary workers now seeking to get green cards to stay permanently, and they are willing to work for less money on that promise. However, they have a long wait for the green cards, and the employers don't want to have to consider Americans for these jobs, since they promised them to the foreign workers, and they can get away with paying them less,” Vaughan stated.
Concerning any “good faith” efforts to find Americans to fill these positions, Vaughan reasoned that there is “little enforcement of the requirement” because employers have found ways to circumvent rules.
Fabela acknowledges that issues exist within the current process, including a lack of modernization with the print newspaper ad requirement. He also noted that some job requirements are so "overly narrow" that they "effectively match one candidate's resume." The most concerning issue is "wage-level manipulation," according to Fabela.
"Bad actors will write dumbed-down job descriptions in a way that understates the role's actual skill level. That allows them to pay experienced candidates significantly less while still clearing the prevailing wage test," Fabela told Blaze News.
Jobs.Now also highlighted issues with the manipulation of the "overly broad" prevailing wage standard, which "allows companies to slot jobs into categories that could include far less advanced roles, which have lower wage standards."
America First reforms
Amid an uncertain tech job market and ongoing criticisms of the PERM process, advocates like Jobs.Now are pushing for reforms to address the root problems and restore priority to American workers.
Jobs.Now is calling for changes to H-1B and PERM regulations, as well as the cancellation of the OPT visa program, to open more job opportunities to American workers, including entry-level recent college graduates.
‘We think the regulations must be changed so that labor market tests give American citizens the right they deserve to be considered first for jobs in America, rather than the formality they are currently treated as.’
Companies should also be required to prove that there are no qualified American candidates available for a position before issuing an H-1B visa, Jobs.Now stated.
The tech workers behind the job board website are advocating for companies to be required to post all labor market tests on their website’s career page, accept digital applications, and post on high-traffic job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed, rather than newspaper classifieds.

“In short, we think the regulations must be changed so that labor market tests give American citizens the right they deserve to be considered first for jobs in America, rather than the formality they are currently treated as,” Jobs.Now told Blaze News.
Fabela agrees that the H-1B program is flawed and in need of reform to prevent abuse. However, he noted that he is “unapologetically pro-H-1B," expressing concern that China would win the tech race “without firing a shot” if the U.S. closes the door on foreign talent.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has vowed to clamp down on employment bias by increasing investigations, compliance checks, and litigation.
“The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: If you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop,” EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas stated in March.
“The EEOC is here to protect all workers from unlawful national origin discrimination, including American workers,” Lucas remarked.
The DOL did not respond to a request for comment.

Time to pump the brakes on Big Tech’s AI boondoggle
America already learned a lesson from the Green New Deal: If an industry survives only on special favors, it isn’t ready to stand on its own.
Yet the same game is playing out again — this time for artificial intelligence. The wealthiest companies in history now demand tax breaks, zoning carve-outs, and energy favors on a scale far greater than green energy firms ever did.
Instead of slamming on the accelerator, Washington should be hitting the brakes.
If AI is truly the juggernaut its backers claim, it should thrive on its merits. Technology designed to enhance human life shouldn’t need human subsidies to survive — or to enrich its corporate patrons.
An unnatural investment
Big Tech boosters insist that we stand on the brink of artificial general intelligence, a force that could outthink and even replace humans. No one denies AI’s influence or its future promise, but does that justify the avalanche of artificial investment now driving half of all U.S. economic growth?
The Trump administration continues to hand out favors to Big Tech to fuel a bubble that may never deliver. As the Wall Street Journal’s Greg Ip pointed out earlier this month, the largest companies once dominated because their profits came from low-cost, intangible assets such as software, platforms, and network effects. Users flocked to Facebook, Google, the iPhone, and Windows, and revenue followed — with little up-front infrastructure risk.
The AI model looks nothing like that. Instead of software that scales cheaply, Big Tech is sinking hundreds of billions into land, hardware, power, and water. These hyperscale data centers devour resources with little clarity about demand.
According to Ip’s data: Between 2016 and 2023, the free cash flow and net earnings of Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft rose in tandem. Since 2023, however, net income is up 73% while free cash flow has dropped 30%.
“For all of AI’s obvious economic potential, the financial return remains a question mark,” Ip wrote. “OpenAI and Anthropic, the two leading stand-alone developers of large language models, though growing fast, are losing money.”
Andy Lawrence of the Uptime Institute explained the risk: “To suddenly start building data centers so much denser in power use, with chips 10 times more expensive, for unproven demand — all that is an extraordinary challenge and a gamble.”
The cracks are already beginning to show. GPT-5 has been a bust for the most part. Meta froze hiring in its AI division, with Mark Zuckerberg admitting that “improvement is slow for now.” Even TechCrunch conceded: Throwing more data and computing power at large language models won’t create a “digital god.”
Government on overdrive
Yet government keeps stepping on the gas, even as the industry stalls. The “Mag 7” companies spent $560 billion on AI-related capital expenditures in the past 18 months, while generating only $35 billion in revenue. IT consultancy Gartner projects $475 billion will be spent on data centers this year alone — a 42% jump from 2024. Those numbers make no sense without government intervention.
Consider the favors.
Rezoning laws. Data centers require sprawling land footprints. To make that possible, states and counties are bending rules never waived for power plants, roads, or bridges. Northern Virginia alone now hosts or plans more than 85 million square feet of data centers — equal to nearly 1,500 football fields. West Virginia and Mississippi have even passed laws banning local restrictions outright. Trump’s AI action plan ties federal block grants to removing zoning limits. Nothing about that is natural, balanced, fair, or free-market.
Tax exemptions. Nearly every state competing for data centers — including Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Nebraska — offers sweeping tax breaks. Alabama exempts data centers from sales, property, and income taxes for up to 30 years — for as few as 20 jobs. Oregon and Indiana also give property tax exemptions.
RELATED: Big Tech colonization is real — zoning laws are the last line of defense
Regulatory carve-outs. Trump’s executive order calls for easing rules under the National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and other environmental statutes. Conservatives rightly want fewer burdens across the board — but why should Big Tech’s server farms get faster relief than the power plants needed to supply them?
Federal land giveaways. The AI action plan also makes federal land available for private data centers, handing prime real estate to trillion-dollar corporations at taxpayer expense. No other industry gets this benefit.
Stop the scam
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) put it bluntly: “It’s one thing to use technology to enhance the human experience, but it’s another to have technology supplant the human experience.” Right now, AI resembles wind and solar in their early years — a speculative bubble kept alive only through taxpayer largesse.
If AI is truly the innovation its backers claim, it will thrive without zoning exemptions, tax shelters, and federal handouts. If it cannot survive without special favors, then it isn’t ready. Instead of slamming on the accelerator, Washington should be hitting the brakes.
Silent pandemic: How Big Tech is exploiting your children
One of the greatest public health issues facing the youngest generations in America is the pandemic of the online exploitation and abuse of children.
We’ve all heard stories about how this happens. They are tragic and yet preventable. A Rhode Island man, for example, was recently indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly communicating with a minor female on several social media platforms, enticing her to send him photographs of herself, and meeting with her to “engage in illicit sexual activity.” And a New York man was indicted for allegedly luring two 11-year-old boys through Snapchat before meeting them in person and sexually assaulting them.
We can’t continue to fight a raging forest fire with a squirt gun.
Parents often have a false sense of security, thinking that these things can’t possibly happen to their children.
But the numbers tell a different story.
Industrial scale
In 2024, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received 20.5 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation containing more than 62.9 million images or videos of children as young as infants and toddlers to its CyberTipline and reported a 192% increase in online enticement cases since 2023.
Another disturbing trend is that NCMEC’s CyberTipline received more than 1,300 reports with a nexus to a violent online group — an increase of more than 200% since 2023.
Younger and younger children are being targeted “on an industrial scale” by internet groomers, with a threefold increase in imagery showing 7- to 10-year-olds. The FBI has warned that global financial sextortion is one of the fastest-growing crimes targeting children, minor boys in particular. Young people (10-16 years old) who accessed or shared sexual content or images of cyberbullying or violence had up to a 50% higher risk for thoughts of suicide.
Social media experts are also warning about the impact of social media on youth mental health. Former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called it the “defining public health challenge of our times.” Even teens (48%) report that social media sites have a mostly negative effect on their peers.
These numbers demand wholesale and urgent changes.
Time to act
First and foremost, Big Tech must be held responsible and accountable to put the safety of youth over profits. Meta, TikTok, X, Snap, and Discord combined spent $30 million on lobbying in 2023. Big Tech companies made $11 billion in ad revenue from minor children in 2022, according to a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Big Tech does not want accountability, so our elected officials must ramp up efforts to win the war Big Tech is waging against our children.
RELATED: How Big Tech hijacked the classroom — and our kids are paying the price
We can’t continue to fight a raging forest fire with a squirt gun. The advent of AI is only escalating exponentially online crimes against children. Congress must take bold action to pass solutions like the Kids Online Safety Act, which requires social media companies to provide safeguards and tools for minors and parents and to enable the strongest safety settings by default. It also creates a duty of care for online platforms to prevent and mitigate harms to children.
Congress must also consider sunsetting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which Big Tech has used for decades as its liability shield to avoid legal accountability for harms happening to children.
Leadership required
The battle for our children ultimately starts at the top.
President Trump has both the challenge and opportunity through the presidential appointment process, directives, policies, a robust legislative agenda, and the signing and implementation of the Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge to fight this war on all fronts to make the internet safe for children and families for the first time in history. Over 80 organizations and survivor leaders joined my organization, Enough Is Enough, in calling on the president to prioritize the prevention of the online exploitation of youth.
President Trump recently signed the bipartisan-supported Take It Down Act into law, requiring websites to remove intimate images published without someone’s consent, including AI-generated deepfake pornography, within 48 hours of notification. Many parents whose children were victims of sextortion fought for this solution to help protect children from being victims of this horrific crime.
An entire generation will be lost if online threats to children are not mitigated now.
These same parents, along with many anti-exploitation organizations, recently joined forces to fight against Big Tech efforts to thwart state-level online child protection laws by the U.S. Congress’ ill-intentioned 10-year AI moratorium provision in the budget bill.
Thankfully, it was removed this time. But Big Tech will not stop trying to evade accountability for protecting our children.
Golden digital age
Parents are the first and last line of defense for their children’s safety online. Enough Is Enough provides current educational information, parent-designed curriculums, and video tutorials designed to educate, equip, and empower parents and caregivers about how to better protect their children in the digital world.
However, parents cannot do this alone. There are shared responsibilities between the public, corporate America, government, and faith communities.
We have the tools, the technology, and the ability to make the internet safer for our children. We have multiple bipartisan bills in Congress moving forward. We have a take-action president who makes the impossible possible. But do we have the will?
An entire generation will be lost if online threats to children are not mitigated now.
The golden age of America is not possible unless it includes a golden digital age that prioritizes safeguarding the innocence and dignity of America’s future: our children.
