Congress Demands Kid App Protection, Sidesteps Real Dangers
The Hill is sounding the alarm: Congress must act to protect children from the Wizz app, an alleged digital menace exposing 'kids to predators.' This urgent call comes after lawmakers just voted to send another $14 billion in military aid to Israel (H.R. 8034) . Oddly, those funds have a habit of creating precisely the kind of predation Congress seems so concerned about, just on a grander,
geopolitical scale. No congressional hearings for the children of Gaza, apparently. It appears the digital safety of American children is paramount, while the physical safety of children abroad, affected by US-backed arms, is merely a legislative afterthought. One might wonder if the concern for 'predators' ends where the defense contracts begin, or perhaps when the lobbyist checks clear.
