The Kids Online Safety Act is back


KOSA passed the Senate before dying in the House last year.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bill imposing sweeping obligations on tech platforms to protect children that use them, has been revived in the Senate after a failed sprint to become law late last year. Parents who have lost children to drug overdoses they trace back to social media platforms and suicide following relentless bullying have led the charge in advocating for the bill, believing it would have helped their own kids and others like them. The reintroduced bill contains the same text approved by the Senate with “several changes to further make clear that KOSA would not censor, limit, or remove any content from the internet,” the press release says.
