On Wednesday, February 26^th please stand up for Kids Online Privacy by calling or emailing your Senators and Representative to urge them to become a cosponsor of the Do Not Track Kids Act (S. 1700, H.R. 3481).  This bill was introduced by a group of bipartisan Members of Congress to enhance online privacy protection for kids and teens
 

Tracking the online movements of children and teens -- and collecting their personal data -- has become widespread. Companies collect kids’ and teens’ information and then sell the information to advertisers and data brokers. 

We need legislation that would require consent before kids and teens receive targeted advertisements. We need legislation that requires websites to have an “eraser button” that allows users aged 15 and under to control information they previously posted. We need legislation that prohibits Internet companies from collecting personal information from teens without their consent.  

What should I do?
