Child Online Safety

Social media companies have been linked to numerous child safety problems, including a mental health crisis for young people, age verification failures, cyberbullying, self-harm and child sexual exploitation, and grooming and trafficking. Since 2016, a group of now more than 60 investors from multiple countries has engaged with tech companies concerning child online safety, collaborating with online safety experts, law enforcement, and policy makers such as the Senate Judiciary Committee to prompt tech companies to remove harmful content and implement stronger protections. Shareholder proposals during 2022 and 2023 at Apple, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms (Facebook) played a significant role in this investor engagement to improve child safety online.
