“It is not an exaggeration to say that social media companies know more about our children than we do,” Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz (D-Glenview) told the House Consumer Protection Committee Wednesday. “They have all this data, they’re collecting it, they’re targeting our children. The algorithms are designed to keep them laser-focused and on these apps. All we’re asking is that we not have open season on our children.”
