The Kids Over Clicks Legislative package passed out of the Senate this week, and is now in the House Committee on Communications and Technology. Kids Over Clicks is a set of Michigan bills focused on protecting kids online by requiring Big Tech companies like Meta, Tik Tok and SnapChat to build safety into their platforms instead of exploiting our kids for clicks and profits.
That means right now is the moment that pressure matters most. Parents and advocates across Michigan are already calling and emailing, and the offices of those Committee members are tracking every communication. Please add your voice and help us get Kids Over Clicks passed out of the House.
The following message to send to your Representative should be customized by you to add your name, town, and a personal story about how social media has impacted your family (everywhere there are brackets). You are free to add any additional arguments you feel we have missed, as well.
We are doing everything we can as parents. But we cannot keep up with Big Tech's systems that are designed to keep our kids hooked.
