Kids Online Safety Act Faces Uncertain Future in the House

The Senate's overwhelming approval of KOSA highlights bipartisan concerns over children's online safety, but the House remains divided on censorship risks.

• KOSA aims to create a 'duty of care' for social media platforms to protect minors from harmful content.
• The bill passed the Senate with a 91-3 vote, driven by advocacy from parents and children's safety groups.
• Critics argue that vague language in the bill could lead to over-moderation and censorship of vital information.
• The House is on recess until September, delaying further action on the legislation.
• President Biden has expressed support for the bill, urging the House to pass it to protect children online.
