<P>Pro-anorexia hashtags on Twitter, beauty filters on Instagram,
gambling ads on Facebook... <STRONG>kids are forced to navigate a
hellscape online, all to boost the profits of the Big Tech
giants.</STRONG></P>
<P>But right now Europe’s politicians are considering sweeping new
laws that could end this nightmare by finally reining in Big Tech.
<STRONG>And we have a chance to show them the stories behind the
stats.</STRONG></P>
<P>If your child, or a child you know, has had a tough experience
online, <STRONG>would you take a few minutes to share your
story?</STRONG> -- we'll take these stories to key politicians in
Brussels so that they understand why they must act now.</P>

love</A></P>
<P>Every day brings new headlines highlighting the nightmare
children face online -- from bullies on Instagram to weight loss
videos on TikTok. <STRONG>And now Facebook wants to push this on 8
year olds with its planned Instagram for Kids!</STRONG></P>
<P>It’s crystal clear: <STRONG>social media is built to serve the
interests of tech billionaires</STRONG> -- at the expense of
children.</P>
<P>If Europe acts now, <STRONG>it could set a new standard for tech
laws that force these companies to change how they operate
everywhere</STRONG>. But to get politicians to change the rules, we
need to show them real lives are being harmed on a daily basis.
<STRONG>Will you help by sharing your story?</STRONG> You can stay
anonymous if you prefer. </P>

<P>You can see some of the stories our community has already shared

of these parents and kids -- and we'll work hard make sure stories
like these become a thing of the past.</P>
<P>We know it can be hard to share this stuff, particularly when it
concerns children. If you can't share your story today, you can
still help by <A

directly on Big Tech companies</A> to detox the algorithms that push
people - including children - to extreme content.</P>
<P>It's easy for politicians to ignore even the worst problems when
they're just facts and figures on a page -- so much harder when it's
real people's lives. Let's make them take notice.</P><IMG alt=""
