Time to act now to protest children online!

The MN AADC bill would protect children online, by reaching vendors duringin the design phase. The bill would require all online products and services likely to be accessed by children to do a risk assessment and mitigate risks to children online during the design phase and before the harm can happen. It is the best of this type of bill in the country at present. Behind the scenes Big Tech agrees, but this is not stopping them and folks from the StarTribune (new CEO Steve Grove, former DEED Commissioner and former employee to Big Tech’s  YouTube) from trying to kill it quietly by getting to key Senators in an attempt to stop these online protections for kids as they’ll mean putting children over profit.  In particular it seems that Sen. Latz needs to be encouraged to support this bill. If he is your senator, that's the best. However, even if you don't live in his district, I am told it is worth a shot. But it needs to happen NOW. 

This is the ask from supporters of this bill:
Pls call, email, reach out to Senator Latz.  Tell him something like - 
"It is time to protect our children online. It is time to prioritize our kids, over big tech profits.  Parents, families and communities demand that you get out of the way and pass the Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC) NOW!"

If you have extra time, pls also reach out to:
Senate Leader Kari Dziedzic and Senate President Bobby Joe Champion to urge them to pass the AADC this session. 

The MN AADC has already passed as a standalone bill (HF2257) in the House and it has also been amended into the Deep Fake bill (HF1370), but is under threat of not continuing to be in there (or something like that).
