Sen. Blackburn, Marsha [R-TN]

S 1748

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reintroduced the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which forces social media platforms and online services to actively prevent harm to minors from features like algorithmic recommendations, addictive design, and content promoting suicide, eating disorders, or substance abuse. Platforms would owe minors a legal 'duty of care' and must give kids and parents tools to disable addictive features and limit data collection. It sits in the Senate Commerce Committee after passing the Senate 91-3 in the previous Congress.
