Exclusive / Democrats’ ‘Project 2029’ goes after tech companies with online safety plan

Democrats trying to lay policy groundwork for the 2028 presidential race are rolling out their first major policy proposal: a framework for online child safety.
Known as “Project 2029,” the liberal group was formed as a counterweight to the conservative Project 2025 to write a policy agenda for the next Democratic presidential nominee. The group reckons starting with online internet safety — which has widespread Democratic support — will help galvanize the party to address what it calls this generation’s “tobacco moment.”

Democratic Project 2029 calls for child social media ban, strict kids safety rules on tech

Democrats working on a policy blueprint ahead of the 2028 presidential election released their kids online safety proposal Monday, calling for a ban on social media for kids under 16 and stronger privacy protections.
The “Kids Over Clicks” proposal is the first to be released by the group, Project 2029, and zeroes in on the mental and physical health impacts of social media — and now artificial intelligence — on kids and teens.
