Hey there! Did you know that some bad people try to sell dangerous drugs over the internet? 😲 That’s really scary! But there’s good news. President-elect Donald Trump’s team is working hard to stop this.
They have invited big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta (that’s the company that owns Facebook and Instagram) to a meeting in December. They’re going to talk about how to make the internet safer by stopping online drug sales.
Trump’s team also reached out to other companies like Snap (which runs Snapchat) and TikTok. They want to hear about the challenges these companies face and how they can work together to solve them.
One of the big issues is a dangerous drug called fentanyl. It’s causing a lot of problems, and people are trying to sell it online. Trump wants to take strong action to stop this, especially when it comes from other countries.
Earlier this year, some tech companies got in trouble because people were using their platforms to sell drugs. For example, Meta faced investigations, and eBay had to pay a big fine.
It’s really important to keep the internet safe for everyone, especially kids and teenagers like you! What do you think we can do to help? 🤔
