Want to know why we have a global child exploitation problem? This is why. Misplaced priorities. POLITICO when is someone going to ask UK how many predators they arrested/convicted last year? 75,578 cybertips reported to them by US in 2023. I'll wait.

It's not Santa leaving those tens of millions of cybertips for the FBI to leverage under the tree, it's companies like @meta. Private companies cannot arrest or convict globe crime rings. It's time to stop pretending they are not active players in these cases.

God forbid the Mayor should do anything to encourage small business development in the community my grandparents moved to in 1930. Meanwhile, minimum wage jobs parking cars & selling popcorn to line the pockets of millionaire. Patrick Hedger David McGarry

All of this immense value for creators everywhere and also a powerful avenue for kids in distress to report abuse. TikTok US is a powerful partner whoever & wherever you are.

Release it ALL.

Yes, you read that right. Her sex offender status was waived. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…

And, of course, one wonders what happened to the 178,648 cybertips the UK received from NCMEC in the last reporting period.....Arrests? Convictions? Just curious.

When you let the govt parent your kids bad things are going to happen to all of you. Age verification is a lazy, dangerous alternative to parental control.

Hmmm...if parents can lead the charge to keep phones out of schools perhaps they can also keep them out of their kids hands in the first place? Just thinking out loud. Just a thought. Because the govt makes a lousy parent........

All of these bills - 100% of them - fail children. They are a gift to predators who escape focus & a bonus for identity thieves who are already busy mining every imaginable data source both here & abroad.

Who is doing the "outsourcing"? Who is giving them the tech tools? It's not the tech companies. Parents, if you have outsourced your children's emotional lives that is a "you" problem not a "tech" problem. As usual, @jonhaidt confects a problem that ignores the obvious.

Keeping in mind that the "tech industry" did not craft 230.

The states' time would be better spent reviewing existing laws, some of which have been on their books for decades & are either outdated or obsolete. Child marriage, child labor & other statutes involving children should be examined carefully.

Girl, 8, Was Found Dead in Bathtub with Crushed Hand and Blisters from Scalding Water.......this is how California "protects" kids. Which is to say they do not. people.com/genesis-ariah-…

Bon voyage to a US Senator who has taken the issue of online child exploitation hostage, who has proposed more misguided policy than one thought possible. Maybe now we can have a serious conversation? Happy Friday, y'all!

Hey Paramount+ what in god's name is going on? Nancy French is not the only one having issues. We can't log in either!

Of course we have "guardrails"......they're called PARENTS.
