The bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act, led by U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) would provide kids and parents with better tools to protect themselves online, hold Big Tech accountable for harms to kids, and provide transparency into black box algorithms. The legislation is strongly supported by a broad coalition of parents who have tragically lost their children or whose kids have been severely harmed by Big Tech, young people who want to regain control over their online lives, and experts and advocates who study and see the negative effects of social media firsthand in their communities. The bill has the support of nearly half of the U.S. Senate.
