- KOSA cleared a key hurdle in the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Aug. 5 and advanced alongside several child online-safety measures, including a proposal requiring AI companies to add privacy safeguards to online chatbots.
- The measure introduced by Marsha Blackburn with Richard Blumenthal’s support has 76 Senate cosponsors and would establish parental controls while studying social media’s effects on children’s well-being.
- The Senate version includes a duty of care for platforms such as Meta, Snapchat and TikTok, while the House version that advanced in June omits the provision, complicating agreement between the two chambers.
- Civil liberties groups including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression warn of privacy and government-censorship risks, while limited legislative days and competing priorities could hinder further action even as Ted Cruz expects Senate passage and more talks with the House.
Children and teens face real risk of harm online, and we've lost too many. Congress needs to do more.— Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., the top Democrat on the committee, said Wednesday before the committee vote.
