Executive Director Glen Weiner described the deal as a significant stride toward equipping families with the resources necessary for healthy digital engagement. The organization, which counts former Montana Governor Steve Bullock and former U.S. Representative Carlos Curbelo among its leadership, argues that these measures align with long-standing public calls for safer, more responsible technology integration in schools and homes.
Coalition to Empower our Future Backs Meta Settlement on Youth Safety
More than eight-in-10 voters and nearly nine-in-10 parents now demand better digital guardrails for children, prompting the Coalition to Empower our Future to endorse the recent settlement between Meta and several U.S. states. The agreement mandates stricter age verification and new tools for parental oversight of online activity.
By formalizing these commitments, Meta has set a benchmark for the broader tech industry. The Coalition is now urging other major digital platforms to adopt similar protocols. The group maintains that addressing youth mental health requires a multi-faceted approach, emphasizing that the current agreement serves as a necessary baseline for broader, comprehensive systemic change.
