Fairplay is a Boston-based nonprofit focused on public policy intended to shield children from marketers and major technology platforms. For more than 25 years, it has pursued policy advocacy and accountability without accepting donations from large tech companies or other corporations. Its activities include advocating for removing phones from schools, mobilizing parents for online-safety legislation, blocking a version of Instagram designed for younger users, and pursuing accountability from Google, Amazon, and other firms under children's privacy laws. In 2026, Fairplay announced a forthcoming strategic plan aimed at addressing current and future threats to childhood, including artificial intelligence. That year it partnered with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation to file an FTC complaint against Roblox Corporation, and it helped introduce the People-First Model Chatbot Bill with other organizations; the group operates as a small to mid-sized team in the Boston area.
