Efforts to raise awareness about internet safety for children have become increasingly common among lawmakers nationwide in response to growing concerns over cyberbullying and privacy risks associated with social media use.
Senator Martin has previously focused legislative attention on youth protection measures in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly.
