About Us:
DEFEND is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization committed to reducing online risks for children and vulnerable individuals. We work on initiatives that push for stronger online protections and digital literacy. Our Advocacy Team is currently advancing two petitions in North America:
We are seeking to have age/ID verification MANDATORY on all social media. We are petitioning the Governments of Canada and the US to begin with. (We've already served this onto the Canadian government with a positive response)
We are also looking to petition ALL US states and Canadian provinces for mandatory social media literacy classes to be taught in all elementary schools.
