Electronic Frontier FoundationCA lawmakers are fast-tracking A.B. 1709, a sweeping bill that would ban anyone under 16 from using social media and force every user to submit sensitive personal information before accessing social platforms. If you're a CA resident, reach out to your Senator today: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-california-s-social-media-ban-a-b-1709

Kelson@eff I've contacted my state senator again. Pissed off that my assemblymember voted for the damn thing.
Bill Zaumen@kelson @eff The text of AB 1709, near the start, says, "social media platforms are intentionally designed to maximize user engagement through features such as algorithmic content recommendation ...." Assembly members are not programmers and are probably falling for Facebook marketing about Facebook's "algorithm", not realizing that FIFO (first in, first out) is technically an algorithm, as is long division as taught in elementary school.
Jbrown, Esq@eff this will never happen, at least not in my family, even if the fascists do push it through.
As a tech literate parent, my partner and I are 100% responsible for our childrens' online security - not some fascist oligarchy that is stealing personal info - and we know how to actively work around all this tech and control our children's access ourselves, *one way or the other*.
Much of the modern internet is shit, anyway. Fuck this mutation. GENERAL ACTION NOW!
