The lawsuit alleges this violates the state’s consumer protection laws and has contributed to a youth mental health crisis among the hundreds of thousands of young people in the Bay State who use TikTok’s platform. “Massachusetts will not tolerate a future where companies exploit the vulnerabilities of young people for profit,” said Campbell. “Today’s lawsuit further demonstrates my offi ce’s focus on the wellbeing of our children by laying out arguments that TikTok, primarily driven by greed, designed technology that leads young people to become compulsive and addicted users of the platform, harming their wellbeing and contributing to the ongoing youth mental health crisis across our country.” QUOTABLE QUOTES CHARLIE RETURNS — Former Bay State Gov. Charlie Baker spoke at the UMass Club last week about his work as president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the organization that regulates student athletics at some 1,100 schools in the United States, and one in Canada. Baker began his duties at the NCAA in March 2023 following his decision not to run for a third term as governor. While the speech and Q&A session focused on the NCAA, Baker was asked several times about his possible return to politics. Here are some of his responses: “If someone told me, literally, in October of ‘22, rolling into the end of my term... you’re going to be president of the NCAA, I would have said, ‘yeah right.’ So, I never rule anything out.” “I’m not old enough to run for president, I’m only turning 68 this year.” “I’m not here to talk about [who I am voting for in the presidential race].” “I’m here to talk about college sports and the NCAA, and that’s why I’m here. I’m not here to talk about other stuff .” “I think we live in really challenging times, and it’s important [for] really good people to step up [and consider running for elective offi ce].” HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 7-11, the House met for a total of 29 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 32 minutes. Mon. Oct. 7 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:21 a.m. Senate 11:06 a.m. to 11:25 a.m. Tues. Oct. 8 No House session No Senate session Wed. Oct. 9 No House session No Senate session Thurs. Oct. 10 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:09 a.m. Senate 11:07 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Fri.
