U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is urging the Senate to vote on the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act, which would regulate social media platforms’ handling of harmful content and data privacy for children. The bill, introduced by U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal, targets platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram and seeks to protect children from online dangers such as cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, and algorithm-driven harms. The legislation would also compel platforms to provide parents with greater control over their children’s online experiences.
