The workshop, originally scheduled for May 28, will now be held June 4 starting at 9 a.m. ET at the FTC’s Constitution Center building at 400 7th St SW Washington, D.C, 20024 to accommodate more attendees. The event will also be livestreamed on the FTC’s website, FTC.gov.
The event will bring together parents, and child safety experts, and government leaders to discuss how Big Tech companies impose addictive design features, erode parental authority, and fail to protect children from exposure to harmful content.
