Stop Sextortion.
Protect Kids From Online Blackmail.
Predators are targeting minors through social media and messaging apps—and children are paying the price.
Between Oct. 2021 and Mar. 2023, federal agencies received 13,000+ reports of financial sextortion of minors.
At least 20 child suicides have been linked to these crimes.
Predators pose as peers, manipulate minors into sending images, then demand money and threaten exposure.
Many of these crimes begin through anonymous messaging tools on mainstream apps.
This is preventable.
Lawmakers must act to:
- Block anonymous messaging for minors by default
- Strengthen protections against online sextortion
- Restrict sexually explicit AI chatbots from interacting with minors
- Require meaningful parental approval before risky apps are downloaded
This is basic protection—not politics.
Add your name to stop sextortion and protect kids online.
