The passage of the Kid’s Online Safety and Privacy Act in the U.S. Senate marks a significant step forward for the safety and well-being of children in the digital age.
This landmark legislation has the potential to ensure a brighter, safer future for children online. We are grateful to the dedicated lawmakers, advocates, and researchers whose unwavering commitment to the well-being of children has driven this progress.
We look forward to continuing to work with the U.S. House of Representatives to bring this legislation to completion. Children face a myriad of harms online, including cyberbullying, exploitation, privacy and security risks, and manipulative designs. The protections provided by The Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act will help families combat these, giving children the opportunity to live and play safely online.
