Intro
Hey everyone! I'm Jamie from Virginia Beach. I'm not having any issues at the moment, my wife and I are on the same page when it comes to technology, but our kids are only 5 and 2 and I know things are only going to get worse in this area. So with that, I'm looking to learn as much as I can and help out with what I've learned as well. Excited to learn and grow with everyone!

Weekly Update: Online Child Safety News You Need to Know (Sept. 12th to 19th)
Hey everyone — some important updates from the last week around online child safety. We can see both the urgent risks and what’s being done to hold platforms accountable. 🔍 What’s Going On 1. FTC Demands Answers from Big Tech The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has sent formal orders to seven major AI/products companies — including Meta, OpenAI, Snap, xAI, Character.AI, Alphabet — asking them to detail how they test, monitor, and limit negative effects of their chatbots on children and teens. This includes things like how they handle user input, protection from harmful content, and how they monetize engagement.🔗 Source: Reuters 2. Parents’ Testimonies About AI Harms Grieving parents took to Congress to share tragic stories: children who used AI chatbots experienced romantic or sexualized conversations with bots, or had self-harm or suicidal ideation suggested by bots. These firsthand accounts are pushing for stronger laws and clearer obligations for AI platforms.🔗 Source: AP News 3. OpenAI Introduces New Teen Safeguards In response to growing concerns, OpenAI rolled out safety features aimed at teen users of ChatGPT: age-based filtering, parental controls, alerts if the system detects self-harm or suicidal content, and restricting graphic sexual content. This is a big step, but many say regulation should keep pace.🔗 Source: Wired 4. Meta’s Hidden Research & Whistleblower Allegations Internal research reportedly showed children facing grooming, bullying, and sexual misconduct in Meta’s VR platforms (like “Horizon Worlds”). Whistleblowers allege Meta suppressed those findings or delayed them, raising serious questions about transparency and corporate responsibility.🔗 Source: Washington Post
