Thrilled to have been featured in @Philanthropy for a story highlighting the evolution of @CommonSense . Over the past two decades we’ve grown from a site for parents to check media reviews, to leading national conversations on AI safety and education. philanthropy.com/article/how-co…


I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Vivek Murthy to the @CommonSense Board of Directors. We have been friends for years, united by our commitment to protecting kids' wellbeing. He joins our Board at a critical moment and we welcome his expertise and global leadership.

Scoop for @politico: Former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is joining kids' online safety nonprofit Common Sense Media's board of directors. CEO Jim Steyer says he envisions Murthy as a "public spokesperson" for social media and AI safety measures. politico.com/news/2025/10/0…

California has a chance to lead the nation on teen AI safety. AB 1064 sets critical guardrails for AI companion chatbots that have been linked to teen tragedies. @GavinNewsom can protect kids while supporting innovation. Read my Substack for more: kidsandtech.substack.com/p/a-golden-cha…

We’re one signature away from some of the strongest AI and online safety protections for kids in the US. Ask @GavinNewsom to sign AB 1064 and AB 56 to hold big tech accountable. #ProtectKidsOnline @CAGovernor @AssemblyRBK commonsense.org/ca

Californians fought all year for two bills that will help keep kids safe online. @GavinNewsom, I hope you'll sign them to hold big tech accountable: AB1064 protects kids from unsafe AI companions and AB56 requires warning labels on addictive social media platforms.


This year,@CommonSense championed two bills in California putting kid's safety first: AB 1064 - Protects kids from unsafe #AI companions AB 56 - Requires warning labels on social media platforms like those on cigarettes. Our youth deserve a safe digital world. Let's act now!

Governor Newsom has a chance to sign two bills that would protect kids from unsafe AI and require warning labels on addictive social media. These protections could set the standard for online safety. Sign the petition today and urge him to take action ! p2a.co/Fxzk1G1

We’ve fought to get kids’ online safety bills through the CA legislature, now the final step is here and your voice can make the difference. These bills would curb unsafe AI chatbots and require warning labels on addictive social media. Take action now: p2a.co/KchcWph?utm_me…

We don’t have to choose between raising healthy kids and winning the AI race. My latest Substack article covers the ground-breaking CA legislation on AI, social media and child safety. We can protect children while still supporting innovation. substack.com/home/post/p-17…

Today, kids were flooded with graphic content on TikTok, YouTube, and even at school. The nonstop pace can leave them anxious or overwhelmed. As parents, knowing when to talk, and when to listen, helps kids feel supported. Tips in thread 🧵

Whistleblowers say Meta suppressed research on child safety risks, per @washingtonpost. Lawmakers must act! California can lead by passing AB 1064 to set limits on AI chatbot features for kids. Kids deserve safety by design! washingtonpost.com/investigations…

Together, @ptogetheraction & @heatinitiative held 50 hours of conversation with CharacterAI chatbots using kids’ accounts. The chatbots’ behaviors include sexual exploitation, violence, addiction & manipulation. Full report here: parentstogetheraction.org/character-ai/


Had an important conversation with Liz Saint John from @KCBSRadio about a growing concern that every parent needs to understand: the rise of #AIcompanions and their potential impact on our kids. audacy.com/podcast/kcbs-r…

News reports of deaths related to #AI chatbots should be setting off alarm bells. But the use of AI, including general purpose chatbots like ChatGPT, for companionship is unacceptably risky for teens. Read more in my op-ed for @techpolicypress : techpolicy.press/ai-companies-r…


On all fronts, Meta AI completely fails to protect kids. This is not a system that needs improvement. It's a system that needs to be completely rebuilt with safety in mind. Join @CommonSense in calling on Meta to keep its unsafe AI away from our kids: StopMetaAI.org

Today, we released a risk assessment of AI teacher assistants, finding that while these tools offer real benefits for educators, they still pose a risk without proper training, oversight, and integration into schools. Read more here: commonsensemedia.org/ai-ratings/ai-…
