Senate to Vote on Two Bills Supported by Children's Online Safety Advocates

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) will bring two bipartisan bills aimed at boosting online safety and privacy for kids to a vote after mounting pressure from advocates, Schumer’s office said. Children’s online safety advocates, including teens and parents of children who died after facing online harms, have been pushing the Senate to act on the bills for years — especially Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which has more than 60 co-sponsors in the Senate, giving it enough support to pass even with filibuster rules in place.
