A group of congressional Democrats on Tuesday called on Facebook to abandon a plan to create an Instagram for kids platform, further amplifying criticism of the plan. Meanwhile, advocates are expressing concerns that the “homework gap” created by digital learning during the COVID-19 pandemic may continue once students return to in-person classes, and Colonial Pipeline said it was experiencing some technical issues a week after service resumed after a devastating ransomware attack.

She pointed to the Colonial Pipeline incident on Friday in underlining the need for the new legislation.
“Cyber attacks like the ones launched against the Colonial Pipeline have the potential to devastate our economy and our way of life,” Slotkin said in a statement. “Even if the intent behind an attack is only to steal money or hold data for ransom, the broader consequences can be enormous for our national and economic security, as we’ve seen from public panic and subsequent gas shortages in a number of states on the East C ....
