If you're in California
Stop California’s Social Media Ban (A.B. 1709), from EFF, makes it easy to tell state lesislators to say NO to a bad internet bill that would ban everyone under 16 from social media. This over-reaching censorship scheme threatens your data privacy, ignores the First Amendment, and wastes taxpayer money during a massive budget deficit. And, by overriding the judgment of parents, the California Legislature is trying to take parenting away from families and replace it with an overbroad ban and a costly (and shady) new government commission.
If you're in Massachusetts
Stop Online ID Checks in Massachusetts, from Fight for the Future, lets you contact your state legislators to urge improvements as the state's social media regulation bill heads to final negotiations.
