SUMMARY:FOSI Briefs the Hill Webinar: Online Safety Policy Developments from 2025
DESCRIPTION:As 2025 comes to an end\, join FOSI staff’s briefing to reflect on all of the online safety policy developments from this year. What bills passed into law\, what laws survived legal challenges\, what laws came into effect this year? How can we learn from what worked and what didn’t\, and how does that change policymaker’s approach to online safety regulation moving forward? The event will focus on action at the federal level\, but we’ll also look to the states and abroad for additional ideas to replicate (and avoid). \nJoin this briefing for policy staff to discuss all the highlights from 2025 including: age assurance\, AI chatbots\, deepfakes\, addictive algorithms\, social media bans\, and more. And we’ll even get into a preview of what to expect in 2026. Click here to register.

SUMMARY:FOSI Briefs the States: Online Safety in Florida
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to join FOSI for our kids’ online safety presentation and discussion in Tallahassee\, Florida.  \nIn 2024\, Florida passed HB 3 which included a first-in-the-nation measure that barred under 14 year olds from social media\, and required parental consent for 14 and 15 year olds to create accounts. Florida has remained a state to watch in the kids’ online safety debate since\, as it has subsequently banned cellphone use in schools\, released early data on the impacts of these measures\, and newly released AI Bill of Rights introduces new measures to regulate AI and address kids’ online safety. \nJoin FOSI on February 4 for a presentation and roundtable discussion on the state of kids’ online safety in Florida. Attendees are welcome to drop in anytime between 10 AM and 1 PM. We are happy to collaborate with the James Madison Institute for this event. Click here to register. \nIf you have any questions or would like more information\, please contact Marissa Edmund medmund@fosi.org.

SUMMARY:Connected Worlds: How Youth Navigate Technology at Home and in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Young people move between home and school every day\, carrying their digital lives with them. Yet the expectations\, rules\, and responses they encounter in each space are often misaligned. This Safer Internet Day webinar brings together youth panelists and experts from FOSI\, NoFiltr\, and Discovery Education for a conversation on how young people experience technology in their daily lives\, and how adult responses shape trust\, communication\, and confidence. \nGrounded in youth perspectives\, the session examines where adult assumptions may fall short\, how differing approaches across home and school affect young people\, and what realistic\, supportive adult engagement looks like in practice. Rather than focusing on tools or restrictions\, the discussion centers on relationships\, communication\, and consistency. Click here here to register.

SUMMARY:FOSI Briefs the Hill Roundtable\, Online Safety Research and Policy: New Data\, New Bills\, Same Stagnation?
DESCRIPTION:Online safety remains a paramount issue for families around the world as technologies\, laws\, and research all continue to focus on young people’s digital lives. FOSI believes that the best public policies are grounded in evidence\, even if compelling anecdotes and narratives help build momentum for a specific bill. Our latest FOSI Briefs the Hill will convene key researchers and policy stakeholders to present and discuss the latest data in this space\, to improve and inform domestic policies. \nThis in-person event will open with two research presentations focused on teens’ and parents’ online safety habits and perspectives. Alanna Powers-O’Brien will begin with takeaways from FOSI’s recurring Online Safety Survey\, and Jeffery Gottfried will emphasize the top highlights from Pew Research Center’s youth internet and technology studies. The discussion will then move into how to use these findings in policy discussions\, focusing on what laws Congress should prioritize to improve online safety. \nCoffee and lunch will be provided. Please reach out to events@fosi.org if you have any questions or are interested in participating.
