South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackey has joined a coalition of 44 Attorneys General urging Congress reject the House version of the federal “Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act” and, instead, pass stronger legislation that would better protect children online.
The AG coalition, in a letter to Congressional leadership, said it supports the Senate version of the act that includes provision requiring online platforms to act in the best interests of minors while preserving states’ authority to enforce stronger protections for children and teens.
Attorneys General also participating in the coalition are from: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
