U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) co-signed a letter sent on March 14 to the CEO of the online photo sharing platform Pinterest, seeking information about what the company is doing to prevent pedophiles using its technology to exploit girls.

Blackburn and Blumenthal authored the Kids Online Safety Act of 2022, which has yet to make it out of the Senate.
