Online safety for children is a significant concern, but there’s disagreement on achieving it. A recent article in The Guardian explores the battles between states passing online child safety bills and tech companies lobbying against them.

The main point of contention is how to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Tech companies argue that these bills infringe on free speech and are ineffective. They say parents should be responsible for monitoring their children’s online activity. On the other hand, critics argue that tech companies profit by collecting children’s data and should be held accountable for safety. The correct answer is likely a mix of both.

Online safety for kids is a complex issue with no easy answers. The full article here explains the details of the proposed bills and the arguments on both sides.
