Today Senator Ed Markey questioned Facebook about the company's (paused but should be abandoned) plans to launch a new version of Instagram for kids and the harm that Instagram is already causing. Senator Markey was not satisfied with the answers he got and is officially reintroducing his KIDS Act. The Kids Internet Design and Safety Act will stop online practices such as manipulative marketing, amplification of harmful content, and damaging design features, which threaten young people online, whether they're on Instagram or anywhere else. https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senators-markey-and-blumenthal-rep-castor-reintroduce-legislation-to-protect-children-and-teens-from-online-manipulation-and-harm
