Compromise kids online safety bill unveiled by House leaders, with key omission
Medium
Summary
A revised version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has been unveiled by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, aiming for bipartisan support. However, a key element – a ‘duty of care’ provision requiring platforms to mitigate harms like cyberbullying and eating disorders – was notably omitted. The bill still includes measures like blocking disappearing messages and regulating AI chatbots, alongside data privacy protections for children.
