The $70 billion 'child safety' bill that leaves kids exposed and kills small tech

I’m a father of three, an app developer, and the head of the Developers Alliance. I’m personally and professionally invested in the congressional debate over the best way to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate online content. So my interest was piqued by Aiden Buzzetti’s recent Washington Examiner op-ed championing the App Store Accountability Act.

Buzzetti is right that America’s kids urgently need effective protection online. But he’s wrong that the App Store Accountability Act would provide such protection. In fact, ASAA contains critical weaknesses that would leave kids vulnerable to inappropriate online experiences, while giving parents a false sense of their kids’ security.
