Regulatory Advocacy for Data Privacy

By advocating for strong regulatory rules limiting data collection and monetization, protect consumer data—especially children's and teens'—because enforceable policies prevent exploitative practices by tech companies and uphold consumer protection standards. This strategy leverages consumer protection frameworks to push for binding regulations that restrict how tech companies handle personal data, with a focus on vulnerable populations like children. Unlike public education or technical security initiatives, this approach targets systemic change through policy intervention, ensuring accountability at the institutional level rather than relying on individual behavior change.
