People under the age of 18 should not be able to interact with AI chatbots. These chatbots continue to put the lives and mental health of children at risk, and it is critical for Congress to act immediately.

Quote attributed to Rep. Valerie Foushee (NC-4), year 2026. Source URL (foushee.house.gov press release) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the exact quote verbatim: "People under the age of 18 should not be able to interact with AI chatbots. These chatbots continue to put the lives and mental health of children at risk, and it is critical for Congress to act immediately." This is from her April 30, 2026 announcement of the bipartisan GUARD Act with Rep. Blake Moore, which bans AI companion chatbots for minors. The quote clearly supports the statement "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18", so the "for" vote aligns correctly. Author attribution, year, relevancy, and vote direction all check out.
