Big Tech Lobbies Congress for Protection Amid Child Safety Pressure
Major technology companies are seeking protections from Congress as global pressure mounts to limit the impact of social media on children
Major technology companies, collectively known as Big Tech, are actively lobbying Congress to secure protections for their platforms. This lobbying effort is taking place against a backdrop of intensifying global pressure, as regulators and communities worldwide seek to address and limit the impact that social media has on children.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The push for legislative protections by these major technology firms directly coincides with mounting international concerns over child safety online. As demands grow globally to rein in the influence of social media platforms on younger demographics, the industry is turning to lawmakers in Congress to establish protective measures.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
