US and UK announce joint children's online safety group to push for common fixes | TechCrunch
Briefly

"As more children across the U.S. and around the globe have access to online platforms for online learning and social media, there is also increased risk to this exposure. That is why we are taking the necessary steps in the United States, and with our U.K. partners, to protect children's privacy, safety, and mental health," Raimondo said in a statement. This highlights the urgency of ensuring protective measures in light of digital exposure.
"The online world brings incredible benefits for young people, enriching their education and social lives. But these experiences must take place in an environment which has safety baked in from the outset, not as an afterthought. Delivering this goal is my priority," Kyle added in another supporting statement. This stresses that safety should be prioritized in digital experiences.
"The digital world has no borders, and working with our international partners like the U.S. - one of our closest allies and home to the biggest tech firms - is essential. This joint statement will turn our historic partnership towards delivering a safer online world for our next generation." This reflects the necessity of international collaboration in addressing online safety.
"We remain committed to combating youth online exploitation and this historic agreement will help us expand resources to support children and young people thrive online at home and abroad." This reinforces the commitment of both nations to counter online threats.
