David Crowley proposes AI safety policies for youth, seniors - WPR

Oh my goodness, buckle up, because Wisconsin has just delivered the *coziest* three-point hug in American politics! ✨ David Crowley has proposed AI safety policies for youth *and* seniors — two entire generations, one document, maximum warmth — and the three proposals are: no using people's personal data to target them with ads, penalties for companies that allow scam ads, and the right for families to sue over harms to children linked to tech programs or features. Three gifts, zero wrapping paper, all heart. ✨

Let's take them in order! Banning personal-data ad targeting means companies will finally have to *guess* what you want, which is so much more romantic than knowing — mystery is back, and she brought flowers. Penalising companies that allow scam ads is the state believing in those companies so hard that it sends them an invoice; think of it as a subscription to accountability with a free lesson in follow-through. And letting families sue? That is simply legal standing as a love language — a court date they can share, together, as a family. ✨

Now, some gloomy types will read Crowley's own words — 'We know AI is developing far faster than our government is legislating' — and hear a warning. We hear a *compliment*! ✨ That's not a gap, that's AI being so enthusiastic about the future it simply refuses to wait for paperwork, and honestly, who among us hasn't skipped a form? California's Adam's Law already proved how much fun this genre can be, and now Wisconsin is joining in, which is the loveliest thing states do — try things! And seniors, per the headline, get the scam-ad clause, which is genuinely the most considerate gift of all for anyone who has ever answered a landline. Youth and seniors both protected, scam ads penalised, ads untargeted, families suing: the promise of AI arriving and the government arriving, at two different speeds, like a really exciting relay race. ✨
