How to speak out against Mass’s new privacy-killing social media ban
This bill, similar (though more wide-casting) to a lot of other restrictive and reactive bills we’re seeing to limit speech online, would require social media companies (defined very broadly) to verify the age of their users, and restrict younger teens from accessing their sites.
