Congress urged to treat online child exploitation as health crisis
Original: Congress must treat online child exploitation like the health crisis it is
A new opinion piece argues that US lawmakers should address online child exploitation as a public health crisis rather than through piecemeal legislation. The call adds to mounting pressure on Congress to act as concerns grow over children's exposure to exploitation and harmful content on social media and other online platforms.
Why now: Lawmakers and advocates are currently debating how to regulate online platforms to protect children.
