Alaska Acting Attorney General Joins Bipartisan Push for Federal Online Safety Standards for Minors

Alaska Acting Attorney General Joins Bipartisan Push for Federal Online Safety Standards for Minors

Alaska's Acting Attorney General Cori Mills has joined a bipartisan coalition of 45 attorneys general urging Congress to pass the Senate version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). This legislation aims to establish stronger federal safety standards for social media and gaming companies, holding them more accountable for risks to young users. KOSA proposes that technology companies take greater responsibility for platform features that contribute to online exploitation, harassment, severe mental health conditions, and compulsive use among children. It would require platforms to implement stronger safeguards and give young users more control over recommended content. Mills emphasized that while lawsuits can compensate victims, broader legislation is needed to prevent harm in the first place, citing recent federal cases involving child exploitation in Alaska, including Juneau.

Anchorage Assembly Approves Modest Police Surveillance Oversight Measures

Anchorage Assembly Approves Modest Police Surveillance Oversight Measures

The Anchorage Assembly has approved an ordinance that incorporates rules regarding police surveillance and new law enforcement technologies into municipal code. This decision follows months of debate and public concern over emerging technologies like networked surveillance cameras and artificial intelligence. The approved ordinance is a compromise, taking many existing rules from the Anchorage Police Department’s (APD) internal policies and codifying them. This version, supported by Mayor Suzanne LaFrance’s administration, offers APD more flexibility in adapting to new tools compared to an earlier, stricter proposal. Vice Chair Daniel Volland expressed satisfaction with having 'some guardrails in place.' The ordinance passed with an 11-1 vote. Additionally, the Assembly established a new ad hoc committee to evaluate APD policies and practices, which will report to the Public Safety Committee. The new ordinance mandates annual reports from APD on surveillance tool usage, including drones and license plate r...
