We applaud the Vermont General Assembly for working to protect young people from online harms, and we’re thrilled to see the Governor sign the Vermont Age-Appropriate Design Code into law.
We are proud of the countless young people who rallied in support, shared their stories, and took on Big Tech to advance this bill. We urge Governor Phil Scott to sign this legislation into law.

The Kids Code legislation offers long overdue protection for my generation so that we can experience a safer online environment after sustained exploitation and undue harms of social media. Instead of using this moment to practice accountability, Big Tech companies would rather continue to ignore our stories and experiences so that they can continue raking in profits at the expense of our safety and well-being.
We’re thrilled to see this rulemaking finalized. It’s a long-overdue step forward that will protect young people online from targeted advertising.
Design It For Us today unveiled its Declaration of Digital Rights, which centers youth voices in determining policy and design priorities needed to protect young users of social media platforms. Grounded in polling conducted during Design It For Us’ campus tour, the Declaration of Digital Rights presents a youth-led vision for social media advocacy.
House leadership’s decision to kill KOSA despite the bill’s overwhelming bipartisan support only benefits Big Tech and their lobbyists. It is abhorrent that Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Scalise failed to heed the call of so many young people and parents crying out for online safety protections.
