We’re going to send a message to big tech companies: If you want to hurt our kids, then you will have to pay for it.”Uthmeier said the lawsuit is part of a broader effort to hold major technology companies accountable for what he describes as potential harms to children.He pointed to previous legal action involving Meta, artificial intelligence companies and other technology platforms, saying Florida has taken similar steps to address concerns about how children interact with digital services.Uthmeier said he is prepared for a legal battle with Netflix.
