Lawmakers are racing to pass the Kids Online Safety Act, a landmark bill designed to shield children from online dangers like cyberbullying and algorithmic manipulation — spurred by heartbreaking personal stories of parents who’ve lost kids to digital harm. Though it narrowly passed the Senate last year with bipartisan support, the House stalled it, allegedly under pressure from tech giants. Now, advocates push for default safety settings, parental controls, and accountability — while civil liberties groups warn age verification could erode privacy. A key compromise remains: the House stripped the “duty of care” clause, forcing companies to proactively protect minors. With reconciliation looming, this bill could redefine how social media treats children — or fail to deliver on its promise.
