It’s been a long year of continued challenges and threats to our information ecosystem.

We’re so proud of our work to hold Big Tech accountable and advocate for meaningful structural reforms to protect and advance democracy. Here are some highlights of our progress in 2022: 🧵
We joined partners and youth organizations to help pass the #CAKidsCode in California to require online platforms to prioritize young people’s safety by design and default. The bipartisan law offers a roadmap for more states to protect young users. nytimes.com/2022/09/15/bus…
We elevated youth activists and organizations like @logoffmovement by sharing the lived experiences of young people navigating Big Tech’s harms. We hosted a youth roundtable with @SenBlumenthal and partnered with young diverse digital creators to spread our campaigns online.

We’re thrilled to see our former youth roundtable participant and summer intern @EmmaLembke profiled in the @nytimes today! nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…
As @julhalps reports, @EmmaLembke launched the @logoffmovement two summers ago to spur dialogue and change among young people regarding their relationship with social media. nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…
.@EmmaLembke’s motivation to launch the @logoffmovement arose from her own personal experience:

“I was spending at least six hours a day on these apps…absorbing all of these unrealistic body standards. That down the line resulted in disordered eating." nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…
