Accountable Tech on White House Report to Address Online Youth Safety

Accountable Tech Co-Founder and Executive Director Nicole Gill issued the following statement on the release of the Biden administration’s interagency task force report to protect the online safety and privacy of children and young people:

“This generation of young people have been subjected to the most insidious and dark aspects of Big Tech and social media thanks to addictive, profit-driven algorithms designed to keep them scrolling. Thus far, we have seen reams of evidence illustrating its harms and whistleblowers sounding the alarm on Big Tech’s complicity and refusal to address these known consequences. And yet, legislation to hold tech accountable, like KOSA and COPPA 2.0, has stalled in Congress, and similar laws enacted in states are being challenged legally by the Big Tech lobby. We welcome the administration’s efforts to provide interagency recommendations that challenge the tech industry to prioritize the health, safety, and privacy of young people, and we urge tech companies to swiftly implement the report’s recommendations – many of which are already in place in other jurisdictions – before further generations of children become victims of Big Tech’s greed.”
