As we prepare for Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, the time to act for our children’s online safety is now! Keeping our kids safe from harmful and inappropriate content should be a top goal for the new administration.

For years, state governments have tried to pass laws requiring age verification to shield kids from explicit content, but legal barriers have often halted these efforts. The federal government can lead the charge by setting nationwide standards for age verification and online protection, making it easier to safeguard young users across all devices and platforms.

Just as stores check IDs for age-restricted products, app platforms and websites should use secure age verification to keep kids safe. The Trump administration has the unique opportunity to push for legislation or guidance that ensures children can explore the digital world without exposure to harmful content. Such a move would protect children while respecting user privacy and parental control over what their kids can access.

Parents, educators, and advocates across the country are asking the new administration to act decisively. By adding your name to this petition, you’re calling on the Trump administration to put children’s safety first, make online protection a priority, and hold tech companies accountable for the environments they create.

Sign today to support policies that build a safer digital future for our children and tell the new Trump administration to make protecting kids online a national priority!
