Big Tech is failing to protect kids from sexual abuse online. We're here to change that.
Appalling & yet wholly unsurprising that @Apple's negligent #AppStore policies didn't catch this. Demand @tim_cook take action now: rallystarter.com/rally/2700/hey…
Parents and survivors are leading this movement with fierce love and lived truth. ❤️🔥 Watch Jennie’s message to Apple. Then take action. youtube.com/shorts/L6acmn5…
This isn’t a glitch. It’s intentional. @Meta 's products harm kids... by design. Thank you @designitforus & @accountabletech for exposing these harms.
Accountable Tech asked five young people in our coalition to test Instagram Teen Accounts, which are meant to protect teens online. Our participants found that these accounts don't always live up to Meta’s promises. accountabletech.org/research/scary…
"When you dream at night, do you see our children’s faces?" We took to the street because we refuse to let Big Tech hide behind profits while children are harmed every day on their platforms built. Watch what happened. And then join us. youtu.be/74RqcfcNRI4
The #KidsOnlineSafetyAct has been reintroduced, and #Apple supports it. We have some thoughts. Read our full statement below. 🔥
60+ orgs, including @heatinitiative, @angelq_ai, Social Media Victims Law Center, and many others, are demanding action to protect kids from unregulated AI. The risks are real. And they're growing. Read the declaration: bit.ly/3GTjRPy
Today, we demanded that those in power act. Not someday. Not when it’s convenient. Now. Because clearly @Meta's current approach is failing. And every day without stronger safeguards means more kids at risk. @DesignItForUs @ptogetheraction

Hey, @tim_cook, we're here for A-Day to see how your fellow Tigers feel about @Apple's approach to #ChildSafety. So far, @AuburnTigers seem to agree... you could do a lot more. #WarEagles #TellTimCook
Apple has taken the same approach to child safety: delays, denials, and decisions to put brand preservation ahead of kids. But when pressure mounts, the façade cracks. Are we done with the “walled garden” yet? @newyorktimes @trippmickle @Apple nytimes.com/2025/04/11/tec…
Today’s @latimes #Oscars issue, featuring @Apple . On a night dedicated to celebrating storytelling, we chose to spotlight a story too often ignored: child sexual abuse material is stored on iCloud. Apple allows it. While Apple refuses to talk about it, survivors will.
Statement from @heatinitiative CEO Sarah Gardner regarding @Apple's child safety updates.
🔥 Important Campaign Update: @Apple has updated or removed more than 61% of the unsafe apps flagged in our Rotten Ratings report. Read our full statement below. cc: @ptogetheraction
Apple’s innovation strategy: Repackage old tech, ignore child safety, and cash in. Groundbreaking. 🙃
