We haven't seen significant legislation to protect kids online
for the last quarter of a century, this bill could change
that.
On today's podcast we're talking about Senate Bill 1409, "Kids
Online Safety Act" (KOSA) which, if passed, would be among the most
significant kids’ online safety statutes since the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act of 2000.
Upon its passage, this bill would allow parents to sue social media
companies and other online platforms if they do not sufficiently
shield children under the age of 13 from harmful content on their
platforms.
We'll discuss what else this bill entails, what the opposition
says, and what you can do to support its passage.
