Internet Safety Month Dear Friend, Exciting news! My op-ed written in response to the recent Surgeon General advisory noting social media presents a "profound risk of harm to kids" was published by Foxnews.com! Here are just a few excerpts! Treat Big Tech Like Big Tobacco to Protect our Kids “Just like Big Tobacco targeted young kids knowing their products were harmful, Big Tech is doing the same thing with another product line. When are we going to wake up? The time to act is NOW!...  …The extent to which children are trafficked and preyed upon, depicted in sexually abusive ways, and exposed to depravity on these platforms is sickening. Given this deteriorating digital environment, will the surgeon general's warning again usher in momentous change? It’s time to urge Big Tech to fund a national education campaign like Big Tobacco.” Read the Entire Op-ed Here! The importance of spotlighting the harms of social media couldn't be more timely.
