Big tech is spending millions to lobby in Washington to target young children with ads on tablets and phones.
Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood - Our plan to protect children’s privacy
In the wake of a series of explosive scandals, it’s widely expected that Congress will pass new privacy legislation in the coming year. Big Tech lobbyists are flooding Washington to water down any bills that might stop them from exploiting personal data for profit. But we’ll be there too, as founding members of Privacy and Digital Rights for All, a coalition of powerful consumer and civil rights advocates calling for real, robust privacy laws.
Unlike other privacy efforts, which are often guided by industry and let lawmakers pat themselves on the back while corporations continue merrily along stealing data, our Framework for Comprehensive Privacy Protection and Digital Rights is driven by the needs of real people – and, most importantly, by the needs of children.
