According to recent studies, 65% of children aged 8-12 own a smartphone, and on average, kids between the ages of 5 and 16 spend 6 hours a day on screens (1).

After researching the issue, we discovered that Big Tech companies like Google and Facebook were knowingly profiting from children's screen time by designing addictive applications and targeting them with manipulative advertising tactics. It was then that we decided to take action. We joined a group of like-minded parents and became part of the growing movement of mothers fighting for justice against these tech giants.
