Kids Don’t Trust AI Companies. Neither Do Their Parents. That’s Your Mandate. Common Sense Media asked kids and parents if they trust AI companies. They don’t. That’s your policy mandate.

According to a new report on AI and kids from Common Sense Media, 58% of parents don't know what AI safety features exist for their kids. 56% of teens don't trust AI companies to protect them. That's not a data point. That's a mandate.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

A Jan. 6 defendant pardoned by Trump was just sentenced to life in prison for sexually abusing two middle-school aged children.

He tried to bribe his victims by saying he would share Jan. 6 restitution money from the Trump administration, according to police.

States weigh limits, outright bans on ed tech in schools Momentum appears to be growing against any screen time in schools as states like Tennessee and Kansas propose prohibiting ed tech for grades K-5.

Banning edtech isn't the solution; better design is.

We must distinguish between unsupervised entertainment at home and curated tools in school.

Let’s shift to #WellbeingByDesign, mandate CRIAs, and co-design with students to ensure equity for every community.

The AI child exploitation crisis is here The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received over a million reports tied to AI-generated child sexual abuse material in just nine months.

The technology is outrunning the law, outrunning platform moderation, and outrunning law enforcement. And children are the ones absorbing the damage.

Share this. Talk about it. Demand better from the platforms and policymakers who have the power to act.
