The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is a bill that aims to protect children from dangerous online content and could go to a vote in Congress this month.
The last time Congress passed a law to protect children on the internet was in 1998 — before Facebook, before the iPhone and long before today’s oldest teenagers were born. Now, a bill aiming to protect kids from the harms of social media, gaming sites and other online platforms appears to have enough bipartisan support to pass, though whether it actually will remains uncertain.
