Be a Champion for Alabama's Youth: Ask your legislators to support the Alabama Children's Device Protection Bill!
In an era dominated by screens, parents and guardians grapple with never-ending challenges to keep children safe online.
In February 2020, Alabama became the 16th state to openly acknowledge the dangers of pornography when the state passed a Resolution to Declare Pornography a Public Health Crisis. Easily accessible, addictive online pornography routinely includes child sexual abuse, rape, sexual violence, racism, and non-consensual sexual content.
The Alabama Children's Device Protection Bill is a natural and practical next step to protecting the health and well-being of Alabama‘s children. The bill pioneers child protection in the digital age by simplifying safeguards for parents, placing reasonable responsibility on manufacturers, and respecting the First Amendment. CDPB mandates that smartphones and tablets automatically enable existing filters for all minors through a simple software update and allows for civil action if manufacturers fail to comply.
This bill provides much-needed relief to families who are overwhelmed by the digital space their children are growing up in and would demonstrate to Alabama parents that our legislators are very serious about protecting the well-being of our children. Our children deserve every opportunity to experience childhood free from exploitation and abuse, and this is an easy and practical step we can take to improve their chances of healthy mental, emotional, and social development.
Take action to tell your Alabama state officials, and ask their support to bring the the Alabama Child Device Protection Act (
H.B. 167
) to the Senate floor for a vote to be champions for Alabama's Youth!
