Watch a conversation with online safety advocate Kristin Bride

Friend,

You need to hear what Kristin Bride has to say.

Kristin is a social media reform advocate who tragically lost her 16-year-old son Carson to online harms. This unimaginable grief led her to pursue a legal battle for justice for her son.

The first obstacle she encountered to hold social media companies responsible for her son’s death was Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act 1996. Here’s what Section 230 means:

It immunizes social media companies from responsibility for harmful content posted or shared on their platforms - even if their algorithms do nothing to stop it or promote it in children’s feeds.

In other words, social media giants can rely on a law from 1996 (when the internet was completely different) to dodge liability for the harms their platforms cause. Even when it leads to tragic real-life consequences, like in Kristin’s case.

Sounds unfair? It really is. But Kristin, other bereaved parents, and advocates are fighting hard to reform the legislation that allows social media companies to gamble on our kids’ future.

Watch Kristin’s inspiring conversation with CCDH’s CEO Imran Ahmed about her story, the importance of reforming Section 230, and the growing movement of parents and advocates to protect kids and teens online.

As social media bosses slash content moderation and deprioritize Trust & Safety, it's more important than ever to take a stand, Friend.

Share Kristin’s story with your friends and family and help raise awareness about the urgent need to hold social media companies accountable and responsible for the harms they cause.
