VT Advocates for Data Privacy & Kids Code - Demonstration in Downtown Burlington 06/03/2024

From the organizers:

Community advocates call for urgent action to protect Vermont’s children, teens, and their privacy online at a demonstration in downtown Burlington, hosted by organizations calling for Governor Scott to sign H.121 into law. Participating organizations include the Center for Humane Technology, Consumer Reports, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.

Parents, young people, and small business leaders in attendance represent some of the many Vermont residents who have remained steadfast in their commitment to data privacy and the Kids Code, alongside lawmakers who passed the bill unanimously last month despite an influx of Big Tech lobbying.

Attorney General Charity Clark: Announcing Lawsuit Against Meta for Instagram’s Harm to Teens’ Mental Health 10/24/2023

From the Office of AG Clark:

Attorney General Charity Clark announces the filing of a ground-breaking consumer protection lawsuit. The lawsuit will be filed as part of a coordinated,
nationwide enforcement action to protect youth. Attorney General Clark is joined by members of her office’s Consumer Protection Unit.

Attorney General Charity Clark has sued Meta to hold the company accountable for its contribution to the mental health crisis that grips teens in America and Vermont. The lawsuit, which targets Instagram, alleges Meta designed Instagram to cause young people to use the platform compulsively and excessively. Meta did this to maximize the time young users spend on the platform in order to maximize the company’s advertising revenue. In addition to causing compulsive use, Instagram poses other serious mental health risks to youth, which Meta knows and continues to perpetuate.
