Fairplay Executive Director Josh Golin released the following statement today:
“We’ve known for years that Meta enables the sexual exploitation of children. Now, that has been proven by a jury.
“As an organization that fights to protect children from Big Tech’s deadly business model, Fairplay thanks Attorney General Torrez for his leadership in taking Meta to court. Between this case and the ongoing trial in Los Angeles, parents, survivors, and state officials are doing their part to hold Big Tech accountable. Now, it’s time for our leaders in the US Congress to get off the sidelines and pass the Senate’s version of the Kids Online Safety Act to force these companies to change their addictive and dangerous product designs.”
