Tech trade groups have quietly carved out exemptions in kids’ online safety bills in Arkansas and Utah, even as they publicly oppose the underlying measures.
the amendment was just intended to be “targeted” for products intended for educational purposes, but wouldn’t apply to larger platforms like YouTube or Amazon.
“No one wanted to be perceived as not trying to help children, but I can tell you there was definitely an initiative to completely kill this bill because they wanted to handle it themselves versus having anybody else step in,” he said. “There’s not the internet of Texas, internet of Idaho, or internet of Montana. And if you’re building out compliance programs for the entire country, the idea of being able to do so on a state-by-state or device-by-device basis is incredibly costly and difficult,” David Edmonson, TechNet’s vice president of state policy and government relations, said in an interview.
