A new proposal backed by bipartisan senators would require social media platforms to take additional measures to keep children under 16 safe online.
The Kids Online Safety Act, which will be introduced by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Wednesday, builds on months of momentum in Congress for social media platforms to take accountability for risks posed to children — especially after a Facebook whistleblower released internal company documents.
The legislation calls for social media platforms to provide families with tools and additional transparency aimed at protecting children online.

| In two seasons, fewer than 20 episodes, “Euphoria” — a show about high school aged characters, and touted by HBO as its “youngest-skewing drama series” – has “normalized”: |

| Much has been said in recent months of attempted disinformation to sow discord and division, to mislead the public, and to steer beliefs and actions in an unsavory direction. |
| HBO/AT&T’s Euphoria is guilty of perpetrating its own disinformation to countless children and teens with its grossly irresponsible program content. HBO has publicly touted Euphoria’s youthful audience, and along the way has asked that audience to be entertained by dangerous, abhorrent, aberrant behavior, including adults raping children. |
| While critics will say Euphoria is merely entertainment, they conveniently ignore that audiences are influenced by what they watch – none more so than children.

“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” aired a program this past Sunday night glorifying the sex trade.”Sex Work.” First, there is no such thing as sex work. Sex is not work. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. A full court press no doubt pushed by his corporate parents pulling his marionette strings to promote “heartwarming sex work.” I bet John Oliver does not want his son or daughter growing up to become a sex worker. What a media propaganda piece of garbage. Join us. Contact HBO and tell them that there is no such thing as “sex work.” It forces vulnerable people to become further victimized by the sex buyers. There can be no full decriminalization of the sex trade in New York and anywhere in the United States. It harms people and drives the demand for more victimized people.

Black women were among the most profitable assets during slavery in the United States. In 1808, when the transatlantic slave trade was legally ended, about a million enslaved people were living in the U.S. Sixty or so years later, when the Emancipation Proclamation announced the end of slavery, the Black population had risen to 4.5 million souls. This significant growth was partly due to the continuation of the slave trade between the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. But it was also a direct result of the rapes, forced pregnancies, prostitution and sex trafficking of Black women.
These particular horrific acts did not stop with the end of slavery in the United States; they live on in today’s sex trade. And in order to understand the system of prostitution, we must understand what it means for Black women.
