Congress: Don't Give Meta Legal Immunity for Harming Kids

Meta — the parent company of Facebook and Instagram — is trying to use Congress to escape accountability for harms to children.

After juries found Meta liable in major child safety cases, the company is now lobbying Congress for legal immunity from lawsuits alleging online harm to kids. 

That means families, states, and survivors could lose one of the most important tools they have to hold Big Tech accountable when platforms put profit ahead of child safety.

Congress should be strengthening online safety laws, not slipping in language that shields one of the most powerful corporations in the world from lawsuits over harm to children.

Tell Congress: Reject any provision that gives Meta or other tech companies immunity from child safety lawsuits.

Children and families have already paid the price for years of weak oversight, addictive design, unsafe recommendations, and platforms that failed to protect young users from exploitation and mental health harms. Courts are finally beginning to hold tech giants accountable — and Meta wants Congress to slam that courthouse door shut.

Public pressure matters right now because any immunity deal would have to move through Congress. If enough of us speak out, lawmakers will know that shielding Meta from accountability is politically toxic.

Add your name now and demand Congress reject any legal immunity for Meta or other tech companies accused of harming kids.

The petition to Congress reads:

“Reject any provision that gives Meta or other tech companies legal immunity from lawsuits over online harms to children. Strengthen child safety protections, preserve families’ right to seek justice, and hold Big Tech accountable when its platforms harm kids.”
