Petition your local representative
Serious question, would that be enough? It seems like it has to be a bigger group of people.
Every movement begins with one person.
I see what you're saying, but one person to one person seems like it could fizzle pretty quickly. Are there any non-profits working on this?
Maybe the EFF? Because yeah, "petition your local representative" probably isn't going to cut it.
I'll watch their blog and see if they're starting something, they might be working on it behind the scenes too. https://www.eff.org/
Could also contact them and ask about it? Pretty much the same logic as with contacting your local rep except that the EFF has way more clout
Quebec has them.
That's good to hear, did your politicians do it on their own or did you have someone fighting for them?
Quebec has a long history of consumer protections, advertising can’t target children and companies exclude Quebec in giveaways because of protections
