Why This Exists
There's always another bill promising to protect kids online. Kids Online Safety Act, app store
accountability, device-level age checks, whatever it gets called in your state. Different names,
different sponsors, the same template underneath. They arrive pre-drafted, from coalitions better
funded than the offices they're lobbying. Bloomberg reported in July 2025 that Meta helps fund one of
the biggest of them. One state passes a version and the same file turns up in a dozen more a few
months later.
Almost none of these bills reach the thing doing the damage, which is how the platforms are built to
hold a kid's attention. They add a checkpoint instead: identity checks that land on adults, sensitive
data somebody now has to collect and store, and litigation the state pays for win or lose. The feed
keeps running exactly as it did.
There's an old saying that we don't co-parent with the government. It didn't come with an exception
for bills with a good name on them.
Nobody hands legislators the case against these bills before the vote. Somebody has to stand in the
gap.
That's why we're here. Right to Parent gives legislators, their staff, policy shops, and allied orgs
the same quality of material the other side shows up with: white papers, one-pagers, testimony
templates, bill trackers. Same professionalism, opposite conclusion.
It doesn't take a new bill to protect kids. That's what parents are for.
