Attorney General Jay Jones Advocates for Stronger Guardrails Around Internet Safety
Joins coalition of Attorneys General in letter opposing bill that would weaken digital safety for Virginia's children
-
Today, Attorney General Jay Jones joined a coalition of Attorneys General writing in opposition to the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act), H.R. 7757. Despite its name, the law fails to hold social media companies accountable for keeping young people safe from the provenharms of online platforms, including social media, and would undermine state laws already on the books.
"The KIDS Act is a wolf in sheep's clothing, claiming to protect young Virginians online when in reality this bill will put children's social media health in the hands of the companies that are currently attempting to skirt existing state law through their platforms," said Attorney General Jay Jones. "This bill is an attempt to step over the authority of both parents and guardians as well as the states' enforcement powers. Virginia's children deserve to be protected from unscrupulous Big Tech companies, and this office will use every legal tool available to fight for them."
The KIDS Act inadequately covers a wide swath of online policy. Its provisions allow Big Tech companies to deny responsibility for what happens on their platforms, and prioritizes their own growth and profits over the well-being of minor users. Other parts of the bill effectively eliminate critical age verification standards for covered platforms and creates glaring loopholes around AI chatbots that endanger our young people.
Research consistently demonstrates the damage and negative mental health consequences of unfettered and unregulated access to online platforms like social media by young people. Instead of creating additional opportunities for states to intervene and protect children from these harms, the KIDS Act is another attempt by the federal government to grab power and limit state authority to put children over profits.
Attorney General Jones is proud to stand with 43 other Attorneys General across the nation to oppose the KIDS Act. Joining Attorney General Jay Jones in this letter are the attorneys general of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, North Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

State Receives $4.68 Million PFAS Settlement from Tyco Fire Products, LP and Chemguard, Inc. for New Hampshire Public Water Systems
Attorney General John M. Formella announces that New Hampshire has received a $4.68 million settlement payment from Tyco Fire Products, LP and Chemguard, Inc. as a result of the State's ongoing litigation against the manufacturers of PFAS and aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). This latest settlement payment represents the State'sPhase 1 Action Fund payment from a $750 million nationwide class action settlement approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina as part of a multi-district litigation (MDL) regarding AFFF contamination. The State, through the efforts of the Department of Justice and the Department of Environmental Services, asserted claims for all eligible New Hampshire public water systems to maximize the State's share of the settlement funds.
The settlement funds will be deposited into the N.H. Drinking Water and Groundwater Trust Fund ("DWGTF") pursuant to RSA 485-H:6, where it will be disbursed to the qualifying public water systems to support mitigation of PFAS contamination in their water sources. Information for public water systems is available on the NHDES website (https://www.pfas.des.nh.gov/funding/pfas-compensation-fund-public-water-systems).
"This settlement is another step forward in our fight to hold accountable those responsible for the contamination of our drinking water and other natural resources with PFAS," said Attorney General Formella. "These settlements will directly support our public water systems, helping them address PFAS contamination in their water sources. We remain committed to holding polluters accountable and will not stop fighting to ensure that all Granite Staters have access to safe, clean drinking water."
The Tyco settlement follows settlements with the 3M Company and the DuPont entities (E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company n/k/a EIDP, Inc., DuPont de Nemours, Inc., The Chemours Company, The Chemours Company FC, LLC, and Corteva, Inc.). Together, the State has already received over $34 million, with additional 3M payments continuing annually through 2033. These settlements cover just one category of damages sought by New Hampshire, and the State will continue to seek full recovery for the damages caused by the manufacture and sale of PFAS and AFFF by the defendant companies.
New Hampshire has been a leader in identifying and addressing the emerging health threats of PFAS. New Hampshire was one of the first states to adopt drinking water standards for PFAS and filed suit in 2019 on behalf of the citizens of the State, including all public water systems, against the PFAS manufacturers.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announces the appointment of Chad Mosteller to serve as the new director of the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), replacing Dan Satterlee who has been appointed as U.S. Marshal for South Dakota.
"Chad continues the outstanding DCI leadership started by Dan," said Attorney General Jackley. "Chad has the respect of the DCI employeesas well as other state, local, and federal partners."
Mosteller worked as a college intern at DCI in the late 1990s and has been with DCI full-time since August 2002 serving in positions as a special agent, supervisory special agent, Administrator of Law Enforcement Training, and the DCI Assistant Director for Administrative Operations. He has been the DCI Assistant Director of Field Operations since Attorney General Jackley returned to the Attorney General's Office in January of 2023.
Former Attorney General Mark Vargo, after taking office in 2022, appointed Mosteller as interim DCI Director in July 2022. Mosteller served in that position until newly elected Attorney General Jackley appointed Satterlee as director in 2023.
President Trump last week officially appointed Satterlee as South Dakota's new U.S. Marshal after Satterlee was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. His official swearing-in date has not yet been scheduled.

Attorney General Davenport and Attorney General James Announce Investigation into FIFA World Cup Ticket Sales
AGs Launched Investigation Following Reports That Fans Did Not Receive Seats as Advertised and Faced Soaring Ticket Prices
-
New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced an investigation into FIFA's ticketing practices for the upcoming World Cup tournament. Recent press reports indicate thatfans may have been misled about the locations of the seats they were purchasing, and FIFA's public statements and ticket releases may have contributed to soaring prices. The attorneys general today sent subpoenas to FIFA seeking information about its ticketing practices and are specifically requesting details about ticketing practices for eight World Cup matches hosted in New Jersey, including the World Cup final on July 19, 2026.
"Being honest about ticket sales is not complicated. But FIFA has turned buying a ticket to the World Cup into a gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity, and impossibly high prices - all at the expense of consumers and hardworking New Jerseyans," said Attorney General Davenport. "We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation of FIFA's conduct, and we are proud to stand together with Attorney General James in protecting our consumers. It's an honor to host the World Cup, but the event is not an invitation to exploit our residents and visitors."
"New Yorkers have been waiting years for the World Cup to come to their backyard, and they deserve a fair shot at affordable tickets," said Attorney General James. "No one should be manipulated into paying sky-high prices for seats, and fans should be able to trust that the tickets they purchase will be the ones they receive. I thank Attorney General Davenport for joining this effort to get answers from FIFA and protect our states' consumers."
The investigation will probe a range of issues that have arisen with FIFA's ticketing process. Fans have reported they were misled about where the tickets they were purchasing would be located. For its initial ticket sales, FIFA's seat maps divided stadiums into four zones named Category 1 through Category 4, with Category 1 seats in the most desirable location. Yet after many fans had already bought tickets, FIFA created new zones, Front Categories 1 through 4, made up of the most desirable seats within each Category. Tickets in these Front Categories cost significantly more. Reports indicate that fans who bought tickets before these new zones were introduced were excluded from those seats and instead assigned less-desirable seats, including seats far from the field or behind the goals.
In addition, some fans have reported that they did not receive the tickets in the Category they paid for. These fans have reported that although they selected and paid for Category 1 tickets, which were the closest areas to the field, they were assigned seats further back in Category 2 areas.
The attorneys general will also investigate FIFA's ticket prices for 2026 World Cup matches, which have far exceeded the prices for any previous World Cup tournament. FIFA has used "variable pricing" to adjust ticket prices based on demand. As FIFA released tickets in phases over the course of several months, prices for some matches skyrocketed. Press reports (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7166874/2026/04/02/fifa-dynamic-pricing-2026-world-cup-tickets/) indicate that between October 2025 and April 2026, FIFA raised the price of tickets for more than 90 of the 104 World Cup matches, with prices for the three main ticket categories rising on average by 34%. The investigation will examine whether and how FIFA's ticket release schedule, public statements, and other conduct may have impacted these prices.
New Jerseyans who have not received the World Cup tickets they paid for are encouraged to file a complaint on the Division of Consumer Affairs website (https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/Pages/Consumer-Complaints.aspx?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

Their graves remain largely unmarked on the grounds of the former institution, adjacent to the manicured Cheltenham State Veterans Cemetery.
"For decades, the remains of hundreds of Black children have lain in unmarked graves on the grounds of a shuttered institution that was supposed to keep them safe," said Attorney General Brown. "We will not let these children be lost to history. This commission reflects Maryland's commitment to confronting its painful history honestly and ensuring that those who were failed by this State are not forgotten by it."
The Commission on the House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children was established by the Maryland General Assembly to ensure this painful chapter of Maryland's history is investigated and memorialized. The Commission is charged with conducting forensic, archaeological, and historical research; engaging descendants and affected communities throughout the process; and developing recommendations for acknowledgment, memorialization, education, and systemic reform.

ATTORNEY GENERAL LOPEZ LEADS COALITION OPPOSING KIDS ACT, SUPPORTS STRONGER ONLINE PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN
Attorney General Anne Lopez today announced that Hawaii and three other states are leading a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general opposing the federal Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act ("KIDS Act"), H.R. 7757, arguing the bill would weaken states' ability to protect children online while insulating Big Tech from accountability.
The coalition warned, in a letterto Congressional leadership, that the KIDS Act would broadly preempt state laws addressing online harms to minors, including social media harms, obscenity, social gaming platforms and artificial intelligence chatbots.
Attorney General Lopez emphasized that Congress should instead advance legislation that includes a meaningful duty of care requirement for online platforms.
"As technology continues to evolve, our responsibility to protect children online must evolve with it," said Attorney General Lopez. "States need the ability to respond quickly to emerging online threats impacting minors, whether that involves social media platforms, exploitative algorithms, artificial intelligence tools, or other digital harms. Congress should strengthen protections for children, while preserving the ability of states to enforce strong safeguards and hold online platforms accountable."
The coalition expressed support for the U.S. Senate version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), S. 1748, which includes a key Duty of Care provision requiring online platforms to act in the best interests of minors while preserving states' authority to enforce stronger protections for children and teens.
The letter comes as attorneys general across the country continue investigations and litigation involving major social media platforms, including Meta and TikTok, over allegations that their platforms target and harm underage users.
Attorney General Lopez is co-leading this effort with the attorneys general from Connecticut, Ohio and Tennessee. They are joined by the attorneys general of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, the Northern Mariana Islands, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The letter is being sent to Congressional leadership, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
The letter can be found here (https://ag.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/KIDS-Act-_-FINAL.pdf).
