Tech Accountability for Child Safety

Common Sense Media, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families, has issued a strong statement urging tech companies to take a stand against TechNet’s opposition to California's AB 1394 bill. This bill aims to hold social media companies accountable for the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The organization highlights the alarming connections between platforms like Instagram and networks of child predators, emphasizing the need for corporate responsibility in protecting children online. By advocating for this bill, Common Sense Media seeks to ensure that tech companies prioritize the safety and well-being of children over profit. This initiative not only addresses immediate concerns regarding child trafficking but also promotes a broader culture of accountability within the tech industry.
