"This bill, unfortunately, is a lot of some of most cynical ways that Washington works, which is that we center, or at the and we'll say that things are under the guise of the safety of children. But then when you actually open the hood and look at what's under there, it's being used as a smoke screen for everything that big tech lobbyists want."
"And what big tech lobbyists want is a national surveillance program where they can harvest the private and personal data of every American with zero actual protections for people and their privacy and victims of some of the most heinous crimes that we've seen in America."
The App Store Accountability Act, sponsored by Republicans and advanced in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, aims to protect children by requiring clear app information and parental consent. Similar bills have been enacted in Utah, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama. However, opponents including Rep. Ocasio-Cortez argue the bill serves as a smokescreen for big tech lobbyists' surveillance agenda. While supporters acknowledge the stated child safety goal, critics express serious concerns about privacy violations and potential abuse. Ocasio-Cortez contends the legislation would enable harvesting of private data from all Americans without meaningful privacy protections.
