Legislation Aimed at Protecting Children and Teens Online
July 25, 2024
Media is reporting that Senate Majority Leader Schumer will bring two bills to vote this week.
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), sponsored by Sens. Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Blackburn (R-Tenn.), would put in place regulations for how social media companies can operate online involving minors. The bill would add a "duty of care" to mitigate the promotion of harmful content and addictive features.
The Children and Teens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0), sponsored by Sens. Markey (D-Mass.) and Cassidy (R-La.), would update online privacy standards technology companies use for minors on their platforms and would ban targeted advertising to kids.
Please join the Alliance to End Human Trafficking in urging the Senate to pass these bills. Take Action Now.
