COLUMBUS, Ohio-The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) aims to protect children from harmful content on social media and other online platforms. It proposes a “duty of care” for companies to prevent harm like bullying, violence, and exposure to dangerous substances or ideas. Despite concerns about violating free speech, revisions have addressed some worries, prompting support from various groups including tech companies, parent organizations, and pediatricians. The bill, introduced by Senators Blumenthal and Blackburn, has bipartisan backing but faces opposition from groups like the ACLU and EFF. Its passage hinges on potential procedural hurdles in Congress, with Senate Majority Leader Schumer yet to schedule a vote.
