Meanwhile, Big Tech is suing to stop the law, with Meta, Google, and Amazon-funded NetChoice pulling yet another desperate move in their quest to oppose online safety regulations so they can keep making billions in profits off kids.
Solomon: Big Tech “deliberately knew that their products were addictive, that they were designing their products… to play on the brain chemistry of young people” – now a new report exposes the $millions$ they’re spending to oppose kids’ safety in courtrooms & state capitals.
“The winds of public opinion have shifted sharply against Big Tech’s favorite attack dog, NetChoice, and now they’re facing a harder battle in court. State lawmakers across the country should forge ahead with carefully-tailored legislation… to protect kids online.”
